Popular culture has such a gr8 effect on our brains that we start attaching a emotional significance for each color...like for some black may remind them black magic, and may evoke corresponding emotions..i think the limbic system in the brain plays a gr8 role here...because whatever we see evokes an emotion...and these collective emotions are transformed into styles, trends, fashions and popular culture in the long run and carried on through generations...

Black is my fave color..reminds of my graduation day!Its called the color of knowledge right? but in my society black is not worn on festivals and other auspicious occasions...although i dont believe in this personally..

So…I have put some rules in place for myself now. I can’t open Tweetdeck. At all. This service is just too good at pushing me all the information I need to continue in the addiction flow that keeps me from being productive or having a real life. If I’m around people, I don’t open Tweetie (on my iPhone) at all. I focus on who I’m with and if who I’m with checks their tweets, I mention it and I don’t use it as an excuse to check mine (the spiral of anti-social). I can check the web version of Twitter 2x per day…and the exception is if I post a question and need to have a bit of a conversation. When that conversation is over, I need to exit. I know I’ve been told to obsessively follow my @’s, my searches (Whuffie, wuffie, tara hunt, whuffaoke, etc.), but I don’t anymore. This may have me falling behind in places, but I lived for years before it existed and I still have Google Alerts.

Some nice strategies for pulling back from Twitter.. Can be applied to other social networking websites too.
