As you are reading this, you're constantly stealing a glance at that Facebook tab, desperately waiting for someone's ping, or a notification. Yes, we've grown to love the social networking site, and for now it is here to stay. And like every other thing out there, after being on it for too long and observing few things intently, you start to see the slight cracks and shortcomings. In this case there are the annoying bunch of friends in your list who happen to top it all. So without further adieu, we bring to you a group a people who make you cringe, annoy you, and make you cuss in variety of languages!

1. The Cat Lover

Aren't these everywhere? And let's admit it, you too adore those little cretins, but these people have a completely different level of obsession altogether. They share cat images, cat videos, cat facts, cat-everything! And if you're one of those unlucky people to have cat-owners around you, then expect yourself to be flooded with hordes of cat images for your pawing pleasure.

2. The Narcissistic Chicks

This one's a gray area. This girl is cute/ hot/ adorable or a toxic mixture of it all and she goes around yelling about it at the top of her voice. You are flooded with status updates about her latest spa escapades or with tonnes of heavily instagrammed images. Oh, and then there are those tumultuous times when she starts ranting about how ugly she is followed by a dozen or so comments from her fanboys convincing her she isn't. Mind you, there's no escaping her.

3. Lyric Magnet

These people are very expressive. Unfortunately, they can't express their thoughts and emotions by themselves, and so they resort to incessantly putting song lyrics as their status updates. Right from their break-up to their true-love to their sense of belonging to them professing their love for cats, they have lyrics up their sleeves. Also, few of them happen to have a horrible taste in music, which reflects in the mortifying lyrics they share once in a while.

4. Gym Freaks

"200 reps and burning those muscles #HELLYEAH". You are already repelled by reading the caption, but the image that follows scars you forever. A guy pumped to the hilt with steroids showing off bulging balloons strapped to his arms, he is as intimidating as a poodle with rabies. You know you can punch him in the face and make it cry, but you'd rather bury your brain in the backyard and un-friend this muscle-storage device.

5. Philosophical Brainiacs

There are people who generally update their status updates about mundane and disinteresting things, and then there are few who share their thoughts about the higher things in life. What does our existence mean? Do we have a purpose? Why do we stand on our legs and not on our hands? They ponder into the realm of obscurity, and even further. It is either their highly pseudo-intellectual talking, or maybe just the drugs.

6. Over-enthusiastic Parents

"OH MY GOD MY BABY TOOK THE VERY FIRST STEP AND SHE CALLED ME DADA AND POOPED ALL OVER THE FLOOR". Curb the enthusiasm. We're glad you are sharing your joy with us, along with other thousand images of the child you've brought into this world. Yes, we are. But please leave the phone aside and go enjoy, cherish, and live in the moment. Make it special for the little ones by holding on to them than holding your smartphone.

7. The Constant Check-In

Just checked into Dubai International Airport; Just checked into the biggest mall around; Just checked into the swankiest pub in town; just checked into the loo to barf all the excess alcohol. We're glad you are going places. We're glad you are having a good time. But enjoy the moment. Keep your phone aside and go woo the ladies. Also, notifying the world about your location proves costly at some points of time.

8. Hash Tag-holic

#Summer #beach #Fun #hot #bikini #Goa #sunglasses #sea #beer. We get the point. You're having fun. But we fail to understand the barrage of hash tags that follow the caption. Instagram and twitter makes sense to a certain point. But hash-tagging every word? Is it really necessary in the grander scheme of life? *sniggers*. No, seriously. Cut down on the hashtags, they're an eyesore.

9. The PDA Couples

I LOVE YOU MY MUNCHKIN
I LOVE YOU TOO BOO TODAY WAS AWESOME OMG I LOVE HOW YOU PECKED MY NECK AND FARTED AT THE SAME TIME SO CUTE
Before you cringe and think of murdering yourself (or them) with a chainsaw, we want you to step back and take a deep breath. They want to profess their unconditional love to the world, and this is their way of doing it. Ignore and un-friend them, or just give them a room.

10. The Weird Name Guy

ABC IGOTSWAG XYZ. Yes, those are the names of people whom we happen to bump on Facebook these days. Either they are trying a tad too hard at wooing people, or are perpetually stuck in the world of Orkut. Bash some sense into them and tell them to change their name. Their parents coined a beautiful one for them, and let that be their identity. And if you happen to be one of those chosen few to be committing this heinous crime, then do the needful and change your name, pronto!

LinkedIn Tips and Tricks

LinkedIn, with its strong and every-growing support of more than 200 million users is a booming social site for professional networking. Unfortunately, users are yet to get a hang of LinkedIn’s knick-knacks,
so here are few hidden tips and tricks that will ensure your Linkedin Experience  is enjoyable and fruitful!

1. Saving Research

LinkedIn users tend to hunt for jobs and other relevant subjects of grave importance. Fortunately for these regular surfers, LinkedIn offers the user to save three of their search results. Although it may seem like a fairly simple function, what it does is notify you by mail if any of the search results change, making it possible for you to keep a tab on any further advancement in the search. For instance, you are looking for potential vacancy in your desired company; a simple saved search will later notify you of a vacancy being added into the list.

2. Managing Projects

What if you have a project to look after and assign it to a bunch of colleagues? LinkedIn offers apps that connects all the profiles together and lets you manage the project online. The best one for management is the Manymoon app (https://manymoon.com/). Task assigning, messaging and notification are handled by the app flawlessly, and allow managers to keep tabs on the flow of a project. Managing projects online is the perfect alternative for someone who works closely with freelancers, allowing a user to access the project online and keep a tab on it on-the-go.

3. SEO Optimization

LinkedIn is highly resourceful, and hence SEO-friendly. To truly utilize LinkedIn and have an online virtual presence, LinkedIn offers you to fully customize your profile, meaning you can add relevant search words associated with you all over the page making it easier for Google or any other search site to hunt you down and display you promptly. For instance, a musician can add as many relevant words that can be picked up by the internet and lay them across the page to increase the profile’s relevance and authenticity.

4. Getting Jobs

LinkedIn’s true prowess is its brilliant ability of clubbing professional job hunting with social networking. Other than having a well-laid profile with all the right details, pitching it to the right people is equally important. Joining relevant groups, adding people from similar field of interest and profession and expanding your professional circle is what LinkedIn’s all about. These groups offer lots of jobs and applying to them easier with the single click of a button.

5. Creating a Profile Batch.

Having a LinkedIn profile is not enough. The right way to propagate your presence is most important. And for this reason, LinkedIn offers the ability to create a widget of sorts that redirects a user straight to your profile page when clicked. You can integrate this badge on your personal website, blog and as a signature in your mail. LinkedIn also offers various different designs to choose from.
