I am one of the millions of people around the globe who keeps on checking if I have friend invitations or comments, perhaps a tagged photo also. Millions of people from all continents are hooked in numerous social networking websites. Currently, at the top of it now is Facebook.
Also millions of people are getting gaga over the worldwide trending on Twitter. Some are even waiting for the name of their idols to be on the #1 spot of the worldwide trending.
When Miss Universe 4th runner-up Maria Venus Raj entered the Top 5 for Miss Universe 2010 held in Las Vegas, #venusraj topped the worldwide trending. Filipinos got overwhelmed with the results of the pageant as reflected all over, not limited to Twitter, but to all social networking sites.
Do not also discount the fact that some are still obsessed in using Friendster, and millions are still registering on Multiply in the hopes of creating their own basic blogging site.
But behind these names that earn millions of dollars, are few exciting trivia I researched over the web while seating on my desk in the office.
