1. How did you come up with the title?
The title was not very hard to think of . There is so much of social networking in everybody’s life that I thought of writing a book on social networking itself. I tried my best to present a balanced picture of social networking, but somehow I felt that this business of social networking is tilted towards creating a user base and getting them hooked forever, and milking their involvement with the network, without giving them any clue of what is happening. So my writing was perceived to be eschewed towards negative aspects of social networking. And thus I chose this title, asocial networking.
2. What is it about social networking that interests you the most ?
Social networking is an infinite platform that gives the users a high-feeling whenever they are involved with the network. And this tendency is effecting a great psychological change in the day-to-day lives of the users. There will be more and more innovations in the way we network and internet is just the leading platform. It presents to us so much of possibility, that it becomes a very fascinating subject.
3. The chapter on FIPRA (Facebook International People Rating Agency) has received a lot of appreciation. Tell us more about the Idea?
With more and more people spending considerable amount of time on social platform, It is all but obvious that people would be judged on their online behavior. In fact, we have already seen recruiters going through the online footprint of the candidates before selecting them. so FIPRA is just a thought that could become a possibility, when we would be required to reconcile our online behavior with the offline status.
4. Any intentions of starting a FIPRA styled company ?
I have not thought of this but I would like to work on a project of this nature that has the possibility of getting scaled up.
5. Any new projects in the pipeline ?
I am working on my next book which is based on quotes and oneliners.
