The more connected I become online, the more interesting it is to watch how the interactions play out. Since today is my birthday, I’ve seen at least a dozen greetings so far all from varying social spaces. Ecards, Facebook wall writings, emails and tweets.

It’s so easy to just ping someone to say hello. It’s really nice to get so many birthday greetings from so many people in my life. It’s also really nice to send them to people. In this scenario, the beautiful part is that social media is actually enabling us to be more thoughtful and polite.
