I thought the popularity contest ended years ago with high school. It hasn’t. Worse, it is back with a vengeance, in a worldwide forum.

That said, I also thought breakouts would end as I exited my teen years. But, clearly (or not) they still enter my life from time to time.

This new-age popularity contest however, is getting bigger and will widen the gap between the social media freaks and geeks. In this case, it’s the geeks who are the cool ones.

And as is the case, social media is dictating a new world order. For if Facebook is the world’s third largest country, then the Internet is its first.

Thus, the geeks shall inherit the Earth.
