Facebook 'like' buttons are the easiest way to show your love and it is also the measuring unit of social acceptance. I totally disagree with this concept, as
I can remember the birthdays of people dear to me without Facebook reminding
about it and mobile phone numbers of my loved ones without missing a digit. Well,
as long as I don’t suffer from amnesia I can right? And I should! Why would we
depend on our gadgets to remind us of our parents wedding anniversary? That’s blasphemy!
And we know how parents of kids and toddlers flood our
facebook timelines with pictures of their kids asking for ‘likes’ and how annoying
that is. However competitions are held that way and it is not like we like to
beg! And we honestly do not like sharing our baby’s pics just to show them off.
I always appreciated efforts and ‘like’d the pictures people
asked me to, because it dint hurt me. And photo contests that are held on
Facebook are judged by the number of likes and not the quality or creativity of
the photo. The agenda is basically marketing, and we all know it. However, it
is fun to participate because we are anyway social animals and cannot shy away
from any contests questioning its legitimacy.
So here I am, requesting each one of you, to
please go to the below link and click ‘Like’ on the picture of AARON SANDEEP
you see there. It is a photo contest based on FIFA World Cup.
Singers are judged by the number of sms they get, photos are
judged by the number of likes it gets. There is no room for talent; it is only
the popularity that counts. It is not quality but quantity that matters on the web.
I am not a fan of this particular competition myself, but two things: this is a
competition held by my office, and secondly my husband being a popular
photography enthusiast participated because it had the words ‘Photo contest’ in
it.
So please shower some blogger love, go to the link and ‘LIKE’
Aaron Sandeep. It doesn't take even a minute!
