Idea is something like this:

Promote and get promoted. You dont have to make sense. You dont have to create anything of value. You just have to sound good, be loud, scratch someone’s back and wait for the response.

Some of the rules as proposed by Sourabh:

1. Thou shalt be loud AND secretive
2. Thou shalt not have less than 500 friends on facebook, more than 500 connections on Linkedin, and follow more people that who follow you on twitter.  And yes, flaunt these everywhere.
3. Thou shalt have a long signature with links to every single word you ever wrote on the Internet.
4. Thou shall have a blog and would repost and reproduce content from other members of MAS popular bloggers. And thou shalt pimp the links on facebook, twitter, orkut, signature and every other imaginable place.
5. Thou shalt at all times adhere to these rules and make them more inclusive with time.

So, if you feel you are capable enough to be the member of Mutual Admiration Society, just join us here!!

The recent attacks in mumbai raised many eyebrows having questions, anger, anguish, concerns, complains . . . they found a platform in the Mumbai Group. There was a leap in the members from mere 200 to 1300+ members in just 4-5 days.

People started commenting, posting, debating, sharing pictures, videos etc. And this is just an example, how social media impacts general public.

But on a serious note, Social Media is being used by the Corporate Giants, Organizations, Celebreties, Entertainment Industry & even Media!! I being a social media enthusiast too, have some questions.

Is Social media just having a profile in Facebook/Orkut, sharing pictures using flickr, uploading videos on youtube, chatting with friends? No, Social media is much much more than these. Having these queries, I approached to Bhanu, my dear friend & colleague, who was most willingly ready to answer my queries.
