I am done with Social Media
What was it 2008? When the unwashed masses were still in Orkut, I got an invite for a site called Facebook. First look - thought Facebook was like Flickr - for sharing Photos. It had a weird kind of magic that kept me hooked. Then I got tied to Twitter. Then bought my first smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S - and used a horrible app to access Facebook ( no it was not built by Facebook ). Later FB built its own hybrid app - on Phonegap which sucked - after which they released a native app which was damn slick. Later I moved to iPhone ecosystem - FB and Twitter were my constant companions on my first screen. Now, after almost 8 years - I have logged out - for good. In the new phone, I have not installed FB or Twitter. Why? I arrived at a conculsion by myself - that SM - Social Media is no good. For a developer SM is a huge time sink and also has stolen the ability for thinking deep and hard. I tried getting my head around Angular 2 - and found I was not being able to concentrate like usual....
