Elements of Social Networks into Real Life

Welcome to my blogspot and this is my first blog here. :)

I'm very interested in social networks and have enrolled in a lot of social networkings, such as Twitter, Facebook, 人人网, Instagram, Path, Google+, etc.

I enjoy reading the texts and images posted by my friends, as well as commenting and adding a "like" to them. Sometimes this kind of action reaches my real life. For example, when having lunch in a restaurant and finding something really really delicious that impresses me very much, I may become very excited and want to instantly share this to my friends. In this case, most people may take out their phone, take a picture and then post it to their social networks with an excited comment. But for me, besides this action, I may come into an impulse that I need to stamp a "like" onto the real menu (coz I cannot stamp it onto the food itself XDDD).

In fact, such impulse has occured in many people's mind, since social networking is developing so rapidly and reaching every corner of our life. Some objects containing these elements have come into our real life, lying in some stores waiting for their customers:

This is a Twitter-theme stationary case.

Familiar? Facebook Like stamp XDDD

Instagram camera. REAL camera that can take photos and print them at once!

So cute, aren't they? What I want most is that facebook stamp XDDDD and I'm going to buy one...

In addition, I'm imagining a restaurant with all their dishes attached with a big label to contain customer's stamps, thus, we can stamp on what we like most after eating. In this way, customers can easily see what the most popular dish is, and the restaurant itself can also adjust their service and update the menu according to the labels. If there comes such a restaurant, I'll rush there to press my first stamp XDDDD:

Thanks for reading my blog. :) and welcome to LIKE / +1 / Tweet / comment XDDD
