I have been admin of several literary Facebook pages which
deal with art and presentation of artistic talents. Fortunately, I happened to
be one of the co-admin of a confession page on Facebook lately. I am amazed to
see the rising popularity of that confession page which is subduing the
popularity of any other page on Facebook. The confession page I am currently
seeing, where I was asked by one of my senior to manage as the admin, is
currently getting approximately twenty confessions each day. I am surprised to
see the number of likes which has crossed the mark of 800 today, and this
figure was achieved within a span of two weeks since the page was formed. This
is a reason for enviousness as I am also looking after my own Facebook fan page
which has hardly got 520 likes and that too in this period of two years. Moreover pages like BCET Bloggers and Facebook page of our
college’s Tech-cum-Cultural fest, which is being managed by me again, has
hardly turned out to be this popular. Reasons?
It is the desperation of being pulled together and expressing
what they never dared to say to the opposite genders. I won’t get biased on any
side, I am just presenting my sole reactions on seeing the database of confessions
we are receiving. And I can see, that we are getting equally sincere
confessions from the both sides. At this juncture, I wonder, why are people so
tempting towards spilling out their hearts about their love concerns? If they
wanna spill their heart out then isn’t there anything else that they would like
to share and contemplate about?
I get to learn something from this. If you want to get
popular on social media then you would have to project your actions and plan your way out through advertisements in such a way that it relates with the 'attracting phenomena' of opposite sexes. And certainly
yes, to a very large extent this is correct. You can see how almost every advertisements
on television are now being presented and screen played. They resemble your
love life somewhere or the world of your love-fantasy or may be about the
broken love life of yours. These three things I should say are working as the three
chief dots which draw the big popularity triangle.
