5 Reasons Why Facebook leads the social networking race

Lot of Social networking sites now.Right from Orkut, Myspace,tagged, Google plus etc etc .But still Facebook till now atleast is leading the race.The reasons are as follows :

   V/S


1-Wall
People need their own space.But at the same time, they don't want to keep it private.Wall gives people the thing they always want to do - SHOW OFF !!!
Well, tats true.Publish photos,status updates,links etc and then keep eye on top left notifications for likes and comments.


2-Status updates
    "Just saw the movie xyz ", " Today had an awesome day thanks to ed , mark and zack " , " Go Nadal Go ".
Another utility of facebook which allows people seek attention.Nowadays, Tweeter has been more dedicated to Celebs,Sportstars etc. So everyone is happy with posting status updates from their day to day life or even sports or other worldly events.Even if no one follows your status, they are sure to like and comment on it .


3-Like
Thats part of Facebook Addiction literally.Like this page,Like this comment,status,photo,video n so on.


4-Apps
One of the most important thing,which cause people to switch from other networking sites like orkut to facebook.Many of the apps are really lame, but people are crazy abt them= android apps,iphone apps etc.Use an app, post the results and displayed them on your wall.


5-Games
Flash games look childish and easy.But they are very good at keeping u hooked up on them.In few mins, you will be addicted to them , lost track of time and inviting your friends to join the venture.Zyanga games like Mafia Wars,UNO,Farmville,Racing etc satisfy your busy gaming needs.Also you can play a variety of games with your friends online.

Thus,Facebook is ruling because it has the right blend of activities and provides a platform for people to present and promote themselves in a better way(in short Show OFF :P )

Fast Bluetooth data transfer trick - Only on Nokia handsets

Got this from a friend.We read in books about the ideal Bluetooth transfer rate.
But we don't find enough speed while actual data transfer. Transferring loads of songs 
from one cellphone to another takes such a long time.
Try the following trick next time during transferring data( on Nokia handsets only )

The Trick


On Nokia handset on receiving end type following code
*#2820#
Thats it !!!
You will see the speed of the transfer is boosted up.
Easy and really useful trick


Why that happens ?


The code *#2820# specifies the Bluetooth device address of your handset.
So it allows the other handset to connect more efficiently with your 
( receiving) handset.
