dream a little dream

It's always become a burden when you tried to do something that is different. I'm in love with photography after I joined Google Plus. I thought that it's a world worth of seeing and amazing, coz I see a lot of different perspective of nature, architect, portrait and many more from different kind of photographers. Just one word: AMAZING ! Some people I ask to joined in, refuse it because they don't get much interaction on G+, too many strangers there and they don't get the feeling, such a ghost town. G+ is not a duplicate of Facebook, it moves differently from Facebook. Facebook You interact with people you know on Facebook, saying silly things that only your closest friend can understand and sometimes you get annoyed with those silly things posted on Facebook. For me, Facebook is kinda place where you can jump out of nowhere and having a free fall and leave without shame (that's only apply when you don't have any embarrassed(ment) gen on your body). You don't have to make effort to be connected with other people, coz anyway they're your friends who know you before. Though, now I have lots of new friend that I connected on G+, and that makes a different experience on Facebook. So, actually your friends on Facebook is determining what kind of relation you get on social media. But, being in Eastern culture, being yourself is kinda hard, you have to face the look from lots of people who know you and gotta be ready being judged in everything you do and post, so I keep it a bit civilized on Facebook :D Google Plus You met lots of people you don't really know in the real world, who you choose to be connected with. Most of it because of the same hobby, interest and maybe point of view or just circling who you might find it interesting and feel free to un-circle when you feel it's not worth to follow. Kinda like twitter with more words and pictures. But then, being with strangers, you can freely being yourself, never had to feel worried if you have different point of view with most of the people, being weird, nerd or a dweeb. The biggest part is, you have to interact, you can't get people if you don't work on it. Just like when you met your friend for the first time, you introduce yourself on your profile, describe what you like, and give response to other people's post. Post regularly, an interesting post that you really like, interact, give a response and keep it positive so that you won't be blocked. Well, to sum it all, you need more time and energy in G+, but you'll find a good network around the world that suits your interest, if it works and if not, then you'll just find yourself a ghost town. Summary I guess I really dream a little dream about G+ to be able to dominate the social network. You need more effort to do so and not everyone willing to find new stuff, better to stuck in your own little world and joining in the zombie world of Facebook. Tough you do find new stuff on Facebook when you connect with new people.
