Here’s a prime example of “Men are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix. The professor told his class one day” “Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story.
The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As home work tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me.
The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and forth.
Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail.

I am able to facebook permanently on one tab, use Tweeter on another, open google to search important stuff such as news, sports and answers to quizes (on many tabs), then download songs and movies simulataneously on torrents. in total i have used 10+ tabs at once doing different things. when there are facebook applications, i also open then on different tabs so as to retain the original fb tab on my home page

I once went upcountry on holiday and since I was nowhere near a cyber cafe, there was no way I was going to be left “in the dark”. I simply had to pull out my Safaricom modem and first logged on to Facebook & Twitter to catch up on friends activities, opened my Yahoo account to check mail, opened the DStv website for subscriber updates, checked out two other sports websites (Supersport & NewsNow) for my regular football and rugby matches fixtures and reviews; I also Skyped my friends living in the diaspora – all these at a go, quite an uphill task for my Toshiba laptop but a piece of cake for the superfast Safaricom internet connection!

I would describe myself as a heavy internet user. Being a part time freelancer, I often find myself overloading my browser with multiple tabs to the point of crashing. In a typical browsing session, I start by opening my Facebook account to check on notifications. Next i open a new tab to check my email on gmail: which is closely followed by a tab to check my ovi mail. I also like reading the news and constantly visit the local news websites. This part particularly involves several tabs because i will keep comparing similar news reports from nation, standard and classic fm just to ensure i haven’t missed out on any detail. I also open my freelance accounts on freelancer and Elance to check on new jobs and employer feedback. I also turn on some rock music on grooveshark as I reply to my emails!
