Should I stop/reduce Posting all those Tweets, Updates and other stuff?, stop Sharing?

rungss — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:01:40 +0000

If you have been following my activities on the Web, then probably you would have noticed that my Social media Activities mash got messed up.

Due to n numbers of Social Sites with one common feature of Updates some of them tend to be out of Context, unwarranted, or just plain weird at times. It may appear that I am spamming.

Let me assure you that I am no spammer. I only want to share interesting ideas that crops up in my mind and general Updates about me. That is what the whole Social media is all about.

I do understand that I should take measures to minimize the negative effects of it. Here is the situation and the measures I am taking to deal with it.

Music I am listening to..
I have corrected this…

It will not appear in Facebook and Twitter anymore for every single Song being played in my System.
But It will show up in the particular Music related Facebook Apps Page.
It will also appear in last.fm(Thats the entry point for Music updates anyways), lifestream.fm summarizes the listening History so it is coll there.

Currently it shows up in friendfeed.com but not sure if I should keep it. Perhaps I will disable this one.
Emotions in Twitter..
What should I do about it? Should I not post about How I am feeling? Something which is more personal in nature??
Tiny updates on Twitter??
I could probably avoid updates like “Off to XYZ”, But I do need the ones related to Important Events which I want to Promote and the ones where notifying may lead to a meeting with someone..
Replies in Twitter to Facebook
I have disabled this for now, all my Tweets will not be posted to Facebook
Blog Posts:
Blog Posts currently show up repeatedly with duplicate entries from different mediums/path, will do something for this.

There are perhaps more types of Posts which I could cut on. But Aren’t these Applications

Or should I just believe in myself, have faith and be myself without giving much care about what People could think and their reactions.

Guys this is very Important, I need your feedbacks and suggestions..

Please do..

Hirthik Roshan, an inspiring story! At times he was unable to get even one word out let alone a whole sentence

rungss — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:35:53 +0000

His stuttering was so bad that on some days he avoided going to school as his class mates made fun of him. At times he was unable to get even one word out let alone a whole sentence. However his passion was acting, he knew that that is what he wants to do in life.

Selcuk Ozbek threw a sneaker protesting a speech by the International Monetary Fund’s chief in Istanbul.

The protester, Selcuk Ozbek, a student at Anadolu University, shouted, “Get out of the university, I.M.F. thief!” threw a white sneaker and ran toward the podium where the managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, stood. But televised images showed Mr. Ozbek being quickly tackled by security guards.

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget ~ Thomas S. Szasz

Just saw a Friend Kirti B’s Facebook Status which said.

“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise” – Alden Nowlan

This reminded me of a Favourite Quote I read long back…

When I was reading it for the first time I was kind of getting nervous thinking what the conclusion could mean…

But when I read the last line, It made me smile… and feel proud of myself..

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget. ~ Thomas S. Szasz

I will put more to this Story..

for the time being lets keep it as much as I can Write at the moment…

Ok, you come from a Poor Background, or lets say a Slum in Mumbai, and The Mumbai Police, The Riches of Mumbai or People around the World who take pleasure in insulting you and maybe call your a SlumDog now that the Word has become so famous, and you can’t pronounce a certain word in English, or lets say you have some regional/mother tounge influence when you speak… and feel that you can not match up to the Riches….

Internet is at your Rescue…

Everyone knows, Internet is a huge thing..

Look at the following example and see How People collect the Courage and dare to ask Questions which many would call idiotic.

And that there are People who actually Answer the Question..

Response to the List the Garages Where 14 Of The Top Internet Businesses Got Started

bijayrungta — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:02:08 +0000

Here is a the Comment I posted in a Blog that I stumbled Upon Today via

Where 14 Of The Top Internet Businesses Got Started

Because I have put in a lot of Thoughts and Efforts on the Comment, I thought I should also update it in my Blog..

=======================================

Whoaaa!!!….

All of them were Garage Bands/Startups

I read in The Google Story that Page and Brin used to stay at their place that they took after taking a leave from the University for almost 24 Hours….

I was doing just that (though in a considerably mature Organization) but Some People just don’t seem to understand and point out the general Rules/Processes that the Organization has already Adopted and resist any exception being made…

Rules are there to Protect an Organization as a wise Friend of mine once pointed out…

This came after a lot of Thoughts, and Learning Process including this Blog Archive by me though…

Where I Observed that There was one rule that most People just got to follow even if most others ignored by some of the Other..
http://bijayrungta.com/one-rule-thats-followed-by-everyone-around-the-world

What do you guys have to say???
Reply me @rungss on Twitter, besides Commenting here..

Was Wondering as to WHO is to be Blamed If Facebook notifies me XYZ(AN_UNKNOWN_TO_ME) has ALSO Commented on ZYX(A Friend at Facebook)-s Status

Was Wondering as to WHO is to be Blamed If Facebook notifies me XYZ(AN_UNKNOWN_TO_ME) has ALSO Commented on ZYX(A Friend at Facebook)’s Status

In my Facebook Home Page I get a Popup Notification saying Someone (Whom I don’t even know) has ALSO Commented (The Text of which Perhaps I have absolutely nothing to do with and should mind my Own Business) on the Status of One of My Friend and after clicking on the Popup Link out of Curiosity and after Reading the Responses, I GOOF UP when trying to Quip (As in This Tweet as Perceived by The Writer of This Article in The Telegraph, dated June 12, 2009) out of Habit (With the sole intension of Entertaining People and making them Laugh which.. subsequently make me Smile, Thats all I want man. I don’t even ask anything in Return :sob:)

I Experienced this on Two Occasions with Two Different Friends of me in Facebook within The Last Week and got “KaRRaRa Jawab” (Will Translate to English As Soon As I Can..) from them, Could not think of Anything Else but Think of an Explaination, Being Unable to Explain to one of Them Because I know She will not understand and Emailed and Sent SMS to the Other because He is one of the Few People I truly Consider A Friend and treat like a Younger Brother because He is more than 6 Years Younger than me(And is basically a Kid, on a lot of certain Aspects).

perhaps I have nothign to do with and should mind my Own Business)

Was quoted by The Telegraph today for my Fast and Furious Tweets on Kolkata Earthquake. (The Power of Social Media)

bijayrungta — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:44:08 +0000

It was a Busy Day so the Updates comes rather late..

Almost 20 Hours late…

My Name appeared in The Telegraph, Kolkata Yesterday, 12th August Quoting my Fast and Furious Tweeter Updates about the Earth Quake that Kolkata saw (and I felt last the previous night) and the Huge Power of Social Media that the Whole World is witnessing for last few Years.. Abhishek Sir updated me in morning itself.. I haven’t even seen it yet…

EDIT

The Article can be seen at The Telegraph Website:

Quake response primitive: Minister
- Government agencies left unshaken by tremors in the city; Twitter users on the button

Here is what they Quoted.. (My Username (rungss) was spelled incorrectly(Rungs) though, they left one s at the end)

While the men who matter were in the dark during an emergency, Calcuttans on Twitter were exchanging updates on the button. “… the sofa’s shaking! EARTHQUAKE!!,” twitted Burbleon almost in real time. Rungs quipped: “It was like Waves, not what I thought earthquakes were. As if I was on a vessel at Sea.”

There was another Twitter User @Burbleon who was Quoted.

My name used to feature during 1996-98 when I was doing my 11th and 12th and taking Coaching for Engineering Exams.
Back then there was a Supplement every Monday named Know How with a Section on Brainstorming with Mathematical Puzzles…

I was always Good in Maths and the Puzzles so It used to be fairly easy for me to Crack the Puzzles almost every Monday. Apparently, Brainstorming Team even used to write my name even if I didn;t answer for certain Mondays’ Paper..
