Hi,

This is my first post to the forum, it’s very informative and enjoyable really.

I’m curious about Orkut and I wonder what you people think. As you know Orkut is social networking site operated by Google. It’s less popular than Facebook or Myspace and Twitter. There’s a chance that they can become more popular than Facebook? What do you think?

Luke Skywalker · 07-18-09, 12:58 PM

It can never be so because Twitter , facebook & Myspace have established themselves.

07-18-09, 01:02 PM

I have account in Orkut and facebook
as i feel most Indian user prefer Orkut( although I don't have any statistical record) and 2nd facebook.

yep , in india orkut is more popular among all categories of people than FB.

Luke Skywalker · 07-18-09, 02:00 PM

In context of India , Twitter is making the most inroads now but Orkut will remain there for few years more.

07-18-09, 02:43 PM

orkut and twitter are beyond comparison one is a complete social networking the other one is micro blogging. and its not just in india anywhere around the globe orkut has got so much popularity that its gonna last for a long long while.

I did chat (rediffbol) only 2-3 times in life (since 2005)

Luke Skywalker · 07-18-09, 03:05 PM

Well I have use IRC but that is different & still use it.

PS: Lets play anta.

panchabhut · 07-19-09, 02:46 AM

Indians prefer Orkut far more than Facebook. FB lacks the ability to tell you who has visited your profile. that kind of irks most indians. further, the existing gmail id is also valid for orkut and most indians now have a gmail id. the addition of gtalk-chat as part of orkut has also added to its popularity.

itsmemad · 07-19-09, 02:54 AM

I'm on orkut to stay in touch with long lost friends... and on facebook to explore it's applications...

Luke Skywalker · 07-19-09, 04:04 AM

Do anyone had a account in linkedIn ?

itsmemad · 07-19-09, 10:53 AM

strider · 07-19-09, 11:03 AM

i hate the fake profiles in Orkut. Especially the ones which peddle pr0n links and videos and such. Being a community owner...I hate to check the suspect profiles who apply for membership in my community.

Yes I own a community with 3300+ members.

07-19-09, 11:54 AM

I have only created my orkut & Face Book account only to contact with IBB mate .
Otherwise this account has no value for me .
