Its not only about scrapping !. Review on Orkut

ABOUT ORKUT

For those who are still unaware Orkut.com, it is an online community website which was launched in the year 2004 for the betterment of the community by someone with the name Orkut and is becoming extremely popular among the people.

ORKUTTING

Joining orkut is not as simple as joining Mouthshut or any other website. One has got to have an invitation from an Orkuttian (I mean an orkut user!) and/or possess a gmail account to get access to orkut.com. And one has to fill in all the information he/she can or cannot devise of himself/herself like about himself/herself, favourite movies, books, sports and everything that you can think of.

Once the account is created you are sure to get addicted to orkut and like a fool you might also start thinking that you can’t live without orkut (which is just the case with me)…

Coming back to the point, after joining orkut you can enjoy the various facilities offeredby the site, some among them are:

1) You can search and find many old friends there whom you always thought you had lost forever. You just need to go to the search option and type their name in…

2) You can make new friends there and scrapping (its like sending chipper messages to someone) is also a lot like chatting, so you can keep in touch with people. At the time of writing your profile you will be asked what you are there for-friends, dating, business activity and the like, so its like eternal bliss, you can get whatever you want. You can also read scraps sent to your friends by their friends, if you enjoy gossip or eavesdropping this is just the place for you!

3) You can join various types of communities, create communities or just read things written by members of those communities. Being a member of a certain community enables you to share your views and opinions with others about a certain topic. For example you like a certain author, so you join in the community by the name of that author and share your view with other fellow members about the works of the author.

4) You like someone and want to show it? You can get yourself added to that persons fan list and rate that person on the grounds of – trust, cool and s*xy! You can even write testimonials for people you think you know…

5)You can get your daily astrology update, information about one of your friend’s upcoming birthdays and the like on your home page!

6)There are no advertisements flashing up on your orkut screen as is the case with most of the websites these days.

7)You can maintain a photo album at orkut and let your friends (and even enemies) see it whenever they want.

8)You can also send messages to your friends.

9)And the best thing about orkut is that by seeing someone’s profile you can pretty easily judge whether that person is trustworthy or not!

10)Last but the least, though orkut is very addictive which can be pretty trying for your well wishers sometimes, orkut is really a very good website for keeping yourself entertained.

Certain things you need to keep an eye open for:

1) Sometimes unwelcome people send you scraps and mails, just ignore them with the ignore option provided to you by orkut.

2) The worst thing about orkut is that the server is really bad…

So on the whole orkut.com is just the place to get addicted to! If you are not already a member, then what are you waiting for? Just ask someone you know with an orkut account to send you an invitation and make your life all the more happening!!!

P.S: There are also two communities of Mouthshut on orkut where you can find many active and inactive Mouthshut members!
