Fake IPL Player

Fake IPL Player is a blog that became very popular for a couple months earlier in 2009. It was an anonymous blogger who may or may not be a player on a well-known Indian cricket team.

The blog became a cult following. Hundreds of thousands of people visited it. In this respect, it is very different from my blog Wikibloogia. You are the only person who read my blog today.


My kind of cricket.

Voice chat

Voice chat. This is a technological advance from the 21st century that allows people separated by long distances to talk to each other using their voices. In this way, it is very similar to the telephone. Voice chat is better than the telephone because it's usually free of charge. Unless you don't like talking to people. Then it's worse than the telephone.

According to Wikipedia, voice chat became especially popular among video gamers, who used the technology to taunt each other across long distances while competing in games like "Metroid Prime Hunters" and "Pokemon Diamond and Pearl." My grandmother's name was Pearl. She passed away in 1995, which means she never had the opportunity to use voice chat.


Voice chat has rendered Native American switchboard operators obsolete.
