It's my award!

(from L to R - Simrit, Kevin, Sanjay, Ketan, Clyde & Vaibhav)

Remember the time when our website MTVindia.com went into the protective mode on World Aids Day, and without wearing a virtual condom you couldn't get in? Well we've won the Webby award for that wacky concept.

Looks like Facebook has not only taken over Orkut but also our lives. Everyone here in the MTV office is hooked on the what Clyde D'souza (Editor, MTV Digital) describes as "better than sex".

I went around the office asking people what their fav. Facebook application is and here' what I gathered:

"I like the Superlatives app - it's quite fun to give superlatives like 'Most likely to be creative', 'Most likely to be eating cake' etc. to friends " says Ashish Patil (Head, Creative & Content)

Here's a list of popular Facebook apps in the MTV office and the people who like them.

Nicknames - Kashmira Gandhi (Marketing)
SuperPoke - Sanjay Arora (MTV Digital)
iLike - Hashim Dsouza (TAR, VH1)
Japanese Word of the day - Omkar Sane (Writer)
Graffiti - Harikrishnan Panicker (Graphic Designer, Off Air)
Horoscope - Rishabh Dhir (Shows)
Food fight - Neha Barjatya (Marketing)

For more such pics & videos, join the MTV group on Facebook and don't forget to invite your friends too! Oh and before I forget, Hitesh Motwani is the Mumbai winner of the DIL DSOTI ETC. Contest. Send him a congratulatory scrap on his Orkut profile!
