"India Wins the Toss"
"Dhoni elects to Bat"
"Retoss :-("
"Already started cheating"
"Sri Lanka go home"
Once the match began, it was virtually a ball-by-ball commentary. Facts stated with an economy of words. No opinions, no analysis. Unless you call, "God must be Indian", after a close call an opinion.
To what purpose, I do not know. Would anyone be following a match on Facebook? They did, because they could.
India won. As did the telecom companies.

Natasha - First, congratulations on India's win :-). Your Drabble is such an interesting and well-written commentary on how important social networking has become to us. Now, Tweets and Facebook updates tell such a detailed story that one doesn't even have to watch a game to know just about every bit of action.
I saw a play by play to the super bowl on facebook...Of course the ones doing that were also betting against each other and there was a lot of opinions in that.
Congratulations on the India win, I know your boys are happy.

Facebook and Twitter mystify me. Who wants to hear every thought someone has on every mundane topic? Not me.
Why not just watch the game?
And I'm featuring you tomorrow for "C" Rayna!
Great blog - I look forward to reading more from you in the "A to Z" challenge.
