XXX wanna be friends with you. Y/N?

A technical progress favored us with a great invention of social networks. Everything started from conferences, and then were e-mails, pagers, now we settled down to epoch of friends nets.
The first net I’m registered couple years ago was LinkedIn. This service is mainly used for creating and managing business relationships. When you apply for a new job, for many it companies it is enough to give a link to your profile. Managers or HRs usually have connections with your previous work place and can get a request from some of your coworkers. Head hunters may find you there and give an interesting proposal. I would recommend every high skilled professional to have a CV profile in there, as it has about 17 million participants.
Another pretty useful and developed platform with the same functions is Xing, I was involved there by one friend, emigrated to Europe. Interesting characteristics of all emigrants and estranged, once the roots were broken, they do many attempts to stick it back. It’s a human nature to attach to things and people once and forever. Service has 5 million members.
Facebook is something very different from previous two, mainly used for informal communications. It has lot entertaining activities and fun sticky chains. Can be used as dating service, at least it is the only one service, where I was requested for friendship on daily basis with the most friendly in the world Turkish and Arabic men. I see great potential of Facebook, however it is still not popular in Russian area and I have to apply great efforts to involve there at least somebody of my friends. It’s undoubtedly world’s leader among social utilities and has 60 million people in.
Recently I found out that all my friends hang out on odnoklassniki.ru (classmates) and vkontakte.ru (be in contact). Odnoklassniki really caught me on, I found dudes from school, from my city. It’s proved to be really entertaining to find out where fellow travelers have got on the life’s road. However it has lot of bugs, like delay while refreshing your data, clones in communities lists ect., lack of functions besides sending messages and browsing friends pictures it is very popular and has 12 million users.
Vkontakte is Russian analog of facebook. Friendly interface, fast work, various interesting functions, which work properly, makes this service much more attractive then odnoklassniki, and think soon will overshadow it. For the time being they involved 8 million Russian speaking participants.
Informal social portals are great area for advertisement. All-sufficient person will not search for the lost friends in the networks. Those involved have some personal troubles yet, energetic hunger. Troubled people are easily fall to manipulations. Think, it is good luck for advertisers, if they succeeded to publish their commercials on such sites. Advertisement is one big manipulation, and it must have great success on so much emotionally visited pages.

The maternity

4 months passed quickly like a minute, a kaleidoscope of days and nights full of wired sounds, babies yelling and electronic Mozart strumming. Naturally woman supposed to be able care about baby 24 hours a day, but think with all modernization and laziness we have lost this ability. If not great help of husband and automation of many functions I would go crazy for sure. Thank you, dear, for every additional minute, which I had for sleeping, when you have swayed the baby, and for the evenings, I could go out for couple of hours. I have always known you will be the best father and you are always the best husband for me.
Sitting in office all day long surfing inet and drinking tea was much easier. Every day no matter of weather frost and snow you must go out with babe to breathe fresh air. Many of young mothers on the streets are pretty scary, uncombed hairs, shadows under the eyes, ambiguous sizes. I think woman must care about her looks in any circumstances. A harmonious proportion for perfect woman: mother-lover-daughter is 18%-40%-42% accordingly. Sacrificing yourself to the children apparently leads to damage of other sides of woman’s life. If I am a child I would prefer mother, which is happy, joyful and loves the life rather then poor exhausted horse.
What I like the most in maternity is play with baby, lot of her toys, and many cute little dresses. We didn’t have such beautiful toys in our childhood, so I repair an omission.
She is able by now to catch my smile and give it back. When I talk to her, she replies in her language, something like:
Hrrrrr…phaaaa
Khaaaaaarrrrrrr…
Yyyyyyghhhghaaa
Does anyone know what does it mean?
When she is irritated, she yells, until we get the reason and fix it. And very rarely she cries, when there is infantile colic. Thankful to Komarovskiy advises we avoided many troubles, which have inexperienced parents. In one month she has slept all night long without any special forces. His theory about incredible inborn ability of infants to adjust themselves to any conditions works properly. She swims in a cold water, sleeps on the frost and feels perfect. But I can’t say the same about her grandmothers, which witnesses our experiments.
Maternity is like any stage of human life is joy through pain and a lot of hard work.
