"is learning Bhojpuri" .. thats what I typed when Facebook asked me this question first time on August 23rd 2009. Well I was about to travel in 3 cities Lucknow, Gorakhpur and Varanasi to launch Bhojpuri Channel "Mahua". So just typed what was running in my mind at that moment.
I was still better on Orkut till then which had only one status update unlike wall post on facebook. It read on my orkut - "You are just AWESO without ME" . Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V update though.
"What's on your mind ?" on facebook wall changed the social networking engagement to new level with users chatting publicly (on Wall within friends circle) and post updates that may interest everyone. Its a great platform to share thoughts like an open forum with friends "Like"ing and commenting on it. While facebook goes beyond just from status post to apps, gaming, pages etc., Twitter holds big share in post updates with over thousands of tweets per second.
Not everyone has that knack of creative thinking. For those its considered best to "share" - actually Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V someone's post on "What's on your mind ?" . You are at your best if you have great sense of humour. How many of your post are liked by your followers defines how much active are you on Social Media. Note I do not mean how frequent you post or how many got response with "Likes" or comments. Believe me, people who haven't even clicked "Like" on my post or commented, often asked me "Hey haven't seen ACTIVE recently on Facebook" if I don't even post for 4-5 days.
So its important how creative are you to maintain your social charm when you hit that "Update" button. I tag some of my post with #UpBeatThought. Read my recent blog on same here - #UpBeatThought
So here are some more my all time favorite. Some original, some Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V that kept me "Active" on Social Media consistently. Can you guess which one ?

GOLDEN TIP :
Many of them ask "Why you add hashtag on your post on Facebook ?" as all of us associate hashtag with Twitter. Yes indeed, so here are two reasons and may help you too :
1. I use a multi account Social Media Application - Socialscope (similar to Ubersocial). I tweet more than posting updates on facebook. Hence not all post I would want to go on Facebook. Hence I post only selected post to facebook but that goes to twitter too. Hence carries the hashtag on facebook update. Cool.. Well this wasn't the TIP.. but next is...
2. You can backup your entire facebook on your desktop and then go through all the wall post you did all time. Interesting enough to write a blog like this. Now since my most post carried hashtags, it was easy for me to pick them for this blog. Just Ctrl+F to find them with hashtag search. Now isn't that golden tip.
Watch for my #MondayBlues blog coming soon. Thanks.
