Orkut simply rocks!!

Had heard about this buzz word(orkut) a year back.Never went in dept to know what the buzz was all about.

Some few days back i heard some guys talk about orkut.They were like "orkut is really good" the other one is lke "i've made 65 friends in a month" an so on.
This is what caught my attention.Obviously my next step was to google for orkut.Heck..got a hint that it was yet another "invitation only services" like gmail. Did a lot of digging in my Yahoo, MSN , Gmail friends list only to find that either people had deleted invitations(Which they had got from other's) or didnt have an orkut account; some of them were like, "Whats orkut!!". I even googled for invitations.All in vain.

About 3 hours later i get an IM from my frind saying "Do i send you an orkut invite".Yes was my immediate reply.

Started off with the registration process(looks like the site is developed in .NET, who cares),The registration procedure loked smooth & so was the site.The profile section was divided into three subsections(social, professional, & personal).The Registaration was time consuming but preety simple & understanding.

Started exploring for friends & was suprised to see the people i found in the network.I met a few of my old friends over the network.Was happy yo find them.

Talking about the features packed in orkut it was OK.The scrapbook feature is interesting.It would be great if they(the google guys) plan to integrate the gtalk with orkut.What orkut badly misses is a chat feature.Its hard to imagine anything without a chat interface.

Thats all for the day. Got something new know as 30gigs .They provide a massive storage limit of 30 GB.Yes 30 Giga Bytes...Whoooo.Mind you they are still a beta.
Will write about it next time.
