The Editorial, “Getting Social” very succinctly states that Social Networking has indeed set off the next wave of innovation (Editorial, Oct 5, 2010). Apart from the pursuing and mobilizing support on various national and international issues, the popular social games – like FarmVille and FishVille - too, on these social networking sites play a big part in interconnecting people together. They foster a sense of community in an often fractured world. For years, computers seemed to split us apart, atomizing our life by dividing us into narrower pigeonholes. Now, it appears, they are linking us back together byte by byte.
