What Really Unites FIJI??? – Part Two/Rua/Deux/Zwei

Posted by Allen in lifestyle, Social Networking Websites on October 28, 2007

In an earlier post “What Really Unites FIJI???“, the social networking website “Hi5“ was given special mention. Well surprise surprise, there’s a new kid in town and its name is…

“Bebo“
(A not so good example of a Bebo Profile)

Yes, “Bebo” is gaining momentum and popularity amongst the youth of FIJI. I guess this is due to its free interactive features, which include Bebo Skins, Bebo Bands, Bebo Authors, Bebo Groups, Bebo Mobile, Bebo Lingerie… ok scratch that last one out, just testing your attention span.

I bet that many of you have or had accounts on Bebo, or even Hi5. If not, then you’re probably on MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, Xanga, etc; or probably had your account deleted because your chick or dick dumped you, but lets not touch on that.

On a whole, it’s quite encouraging to notice that the people of this nation are becoming more internet savvy, and particular with their online activity and choice of online social network. As for myself, it’s all starting to wear thin on me. I’m beginning to relish the looks from strangers who may stare because they recognise you from your online public profile. [chokes]

Nevertheless, I have decided to keep my online profiles active but that’s because I’d like to “truly be considered to be from FIJI“ XD

What Really Unites FIJI???

Posted by Allen in lifestyle, Social Networking Websites on February 8, 2007

This is in response to Wilson’s post, “A Sweet-Bitter Victory at the Wellington Sevens“. He mentions that Sevens Rugby (or even Fifteens Rugby for that matter) unites the people here in FIJI.

I do not dispute this fact but there is another uniting factor that Wilson has failed to mention, and this is the fast growing, and the most popular thing to hit our shores (since the missionaries)… and this is……..(drum roll)…… wait for it…….. wait for it……(drum roll)…

“Hi5“


Yes people, “Hi5” is a disease that is spreading fast around the country.

Every single person in this country is connected… from the children of the highest ranking officials in this country, to the common people on the street.

It is on “Hi5” that you will discover every single person that is living or has lived in FIJI. From the girls who like to talk with an accent but have lived in FIJI their entire life, to the weirdo who’d follow you around the street (but that’s another story) XD

It scares me at times to discover how we’re all “connected”. The way things are heading, there may come a day where those who do not have a “Hi5” profile, will not truly be considered to be from FIJI
