Social Media Madness (2)

Hii, I promised to post my own version of Social Media Madness.If you havent read my friend's version,click here .

Flashback: Before 2002,there were no mobile phones,no laptops. Desktop computers were for the rich. Infact only rich people used the cyber cafe.Life was simple yet complicated. Communication was slow and difficult.You have to wait for weeks before your letters get to its recipient .Relationships survived through love letters and occasional sneaking out of your parents house to see the boo. 

Let me fast forward to this present times. Shortly after phones were introduced to Nigeria ,social networks started springing up. It started with Hi5,the beautiful themes ,chatting with strangers,making online friend
Hi5 was the shi  if you weren't on hi5,my dear you still live in d stone age. Not long after ,Facebook stole the show from hi5.  It proved itself worthy with the better interface and advanced features. Facebook was off the hook. Even if you didn't have beautiful pictures,some random guy will still inbox you.Many relationships sprang forth from Facebook.It was the first time I'd hear of a relationship where the both parties have never seen each other.

 We were still enjoying Facebook jejely, when a fiercer wave hit the social media world.The blackberry messenger!. Everybody wanted to own a blackberry.It was crazy.People sold their kidneys to get a blackberry. I almost sold mine self. Every where you go 8 out of 10 people owned a blackberry. It was so crazy that our dear Nollywood had to make a movie titled "blackberry babes".

 It was the rave of the moment.You see girls threatening their boyfriends 'you see honey if you don't buy me a black berry ehn...
It was the biggest hit in the social media world. Kudos to RIM on that.Guys no longer asked for phone numbers ,they ask for pins.If you don't have , then they reluctantly ask for your phone number. You self you be wondering 'why don't I have a black berry self'.

People did anything they could to get a black berry,including buying London used phones and Nigeria stolen phones which were cheaper.If you are a unilag chick and you didn't have a black berry then,well....

 While still recovering from the Blackberry virus, another crazy virus hit the social media world. Twitter!!!. At first it was boring. Later it got really fun and interesting especially if you have many followers. If you have less than 1000 followrs on Twitter ,you are a newbie. Gradually Facebook became outdated since our darling parents decided to invade on our privacy all in the name of feeling funky. We just had to relocate to a better abode. Twitter was just the right place.

So many interesting things happen on Twitter ,there is always hot gist.The thirst for followers and attention was deep, some of the girls posed half naked to get male attention ,the guys tweet sexual things or at worst buy followers. only a few people got followers in a decent manner. Guys got free sex easily ,every one always trying to be a contradiction of who they are in reality.Everyone trying to please their followers and gain online popularity and respect. Twitter is really a crazy place. Its the current rave of the moment.

There is also Instagram, social network for the bigzz people. Only smartphones like Iphone, bb10 and tecno android can access it. Most people use it to flaunt their wealth and fine fine clothes.Thank God for the magic filters,every one on Instagram is beautiful/handsome. Bet if you still worwor after all the filters,well......sorry. 

Wait..I almost forgot Whatsapp!.Whatsapp is basically a chatting application, just like the blackberry messenger,bet him craze no too plenty sha.

This write up would be incomplete if I didn't mention 2go,badoo,eskimi,.There's no much madness in these sites tho,maybe that's why they are in d lower part of the social media chain. Who knows what social network is gonna be the next rave?*thinking*
