Hi Everybody!
I came across this great article in Metroplus, supplement of 'The Hindu', my favourite Indian newspaper and felt like sharing it with you all. It is about the latest trend -'social networking' and the pros and cons of it. I found it to be very informative and fun to read, with occasional doses of humour. Check it out!

AD: Really? I get so much done on Facebook — even as I check my friends out, I handle training programmes.
BC: E-learning?

BC: K-12 Online Certification?
AD: No, Kingdoms of Camelot.
BC: What's that?
AD:

raising armies, training them and defending your city from outside
attacks.
BC: I'm just too busy defending my wall.
AD: Why, what happened?
