I have just come to realise that lately I've been focusing mostly on fashion and forgetting about the other two topics of my blog - life and love. To be honest, sometimes it is difficult to come up with something interesting to write about. After all, what's interesting for me might not be interesting for you.
However, today I did come across something quite intriguing. Considering that in the past month I have spent over 28 hours on planes, I was pleasantly surprised when I read about something called a 'social seating initiative'. This refers to the use of social media to select your 'seatmate' before your flight (yay!). Now passengers of certain airlines can link their Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to their booking and check out others that have done so. Meaning you can check out other passengers' profiles and choose to sit next to someone you think will make that long flight bearable.

What's even better than that? It's the ability to get your very own in-flight 'CloudStream', which allows you to access your own selection of pre-loaded online content. Think watching Lady Gaga's latest video or reading the online version of your favourite magazine (How cool is that?).
There is something even more exciting. Imagine browsing on your laptop, reading your text messages and listening to the latest news on live TV whilst you are flying over some magnificent clouds. How does that sound? Pretty amazing, at least for me. I'm tired of switching off 'all electronic devices with active connections'. Even the best in-flight entertainment can make one restless on a 20 hour journey. And as it seems in the near future I will continue to fly, I truly cannot wait to become a social high-flyer!
So, who's ready to select a seatmate online?
Hopefully the next post should be something about 'love'. What does love mean to you? Think about it.
Until next time post!
