Self Marketing

The thing about blogs, facebook, twitter and the rest of the jing-bang of social media is that it gives voice to everyone…even those who have nothing of consequence to say. I know all hell just might break loose and the people who slapped 22 cases on Khushboo might decide to do the same to me for even trying to be in the vicinity of “free speech”. But then we all know how free India is in its free speech ;)

Anyways before I digress to the point of no return, the in thing these days is to unabashedly tom-tom about your lack of any talent whatsoever. The only talent of any consequence the person will have is to write bragging statements about self. The worst thing about this is that most often than not the people who have things to say are the quieter folks who will keep their talent and views to themselves or at least not display it on their forehead, worst actually on their status messages. So the ones gaining prominence and becoming page 3 are the ones we would have dusted under the carpet had the not been so in your face thanks to the “this revolution called social media”.
