Mimi's got a gun... . Review on Orkut

Apologies for the weird title but this review is being written at gun point. A certain fish eating Bengali lass tossed this topic at me and said "Write on this or I'll turn you into fish food". I protested and told her that it's a done to death topic. everyone's written on it. She threw a dead fish at me and said. WRITE! Ok. I'm vegetarian. Throw a dead potato or something.

The bit about Orkut.com

-

If you have been living on Mars or been too busy trying to cultivate vegetables in your garden, Orkut's a social networking site named after the Turkish dude who decided that it's high time everyone got to know each other.

So, voila. we have a website where you can:

• Create an account and fill up a profile

  
  




• Get connected with people you already know and write testimonials for them and jot thoughts in their crap. er scrap book.

  
  




• Start hitting on people you haven't met but have cute looking pics. It's safe to hit on people online because you dont get hit.

  
  




• Join communities and meet more people and,

  
  




• Last but not the least. er.that's about all that the site does.

  
  

So. now you know that Orkut is a social networking site. Er, Mimi. lower the fish. I'm writing. cant you see?

The Orkut Scandal

-

The Koushambi Layek murder had caused quite a lot of noise on Orkut. Orkut was cited as the means by which the killer, Manish Thakur, could locate his victim. The profiles of both the victim and the murderer are still there on Orkut. The irony of it all. is the fact that Koushambi Layek is the only one visible on Manish Thakur's list of friends.
