Orkut - You will love to be a part of it..

Advantages: Features, easy to use, connecting you to your friends..
Disadvantages: None

Orkut is a Social Networking website, and it is somewhat similar to Facebook, Myspace etc. Although I'm a part of both Orkut & Facebook i use Orkut everyday & Facebook twice or thrice in a week. Orkut is a part of Google & was created by Orkut Buyukkoten a Turkish developer. Here in UK Facebook is more popular then Orkut, but you will find most of the Facebook users on Orkut aswell. Orkut is more popular in Brazil & Asia. it is the most visited ...
...Its almost 4 years now that i'm using Orkut, earlier it was just limited to join if you have got an invitation from a Orkut User. Like for the Gmail Account, but now anyone can register on Orkut you dont need any invitation. If you have a Gmail account then you can login using the same login details of Orkut then you dont need to register, but if you want to use any other email account then you need to register first before using it. Once you register ...

Orkut.com - networking the google way

Advantages: good interface, friendly members, more addons
Disadvantages: nil

Let’s start social networking the Google way. Of course this Orkut did not have the complete touch of Google till some time back. But now the search and other enhancements made by Google really make it an exciting experience to maintain and contact friends around the world though Orkut. Every member of Orkut has a profile page where you can post all information about you – your like to dislikes and what not. Also post your photo. You can see other ...
...Parts of the profile or user area can be restricted to only friends or none to view. Send messages and scraps (small instant messages) to friends. Add photos in albums in your profile area. Get reminders of your friend’s birthdays. View who visited your profile last and all changes made by your friends in their area (if they give permission). So enjoy making friends the Google way. I have written this review in Ciao also. ...

Orkut

Advantages: Good social netwotking website
Disadvantages: not so secure

Orkut is a social networking website owned by Google and it is really easy to connect with friends there ,but before there were not anything more than that ,all knows that we can connect with their friends by email ,which is far more secure! Now Orkut has introduced so many funny widgets .In Orkut we can upload youtube videos ,pictures and even music. The problem of this site is that it is not at all secure. Its owned by Google and the login page ...

Orkut culture

Advantages: It is a good place for meeting
Disadvantages: There is nothing to say

'Orkut .com' is a well-known social network site. It is like an open courtyard for world wide friendship. It is one of many services of the world famous search engine 'Google.com'. The first thing I want to say about its Home page. The appearance of the home page of this website is very simple, though it demands our respects. The personal pages of this website are good, but those are limited in a few templates. Its navigation system is good. Messaging ...
...make personal message and scrap messages. We can use there HTML code also. The registration and services both are free in this social network service provider. Now my suggestion to make it more useful and more interesting - It will be better if there is an arrangement of match making system, to give them opportunity to make friendship amongst unknown members. Except it, Orkut can do an arrangement to link with one's own or liking websites. It will ...

orkut

Advantages: user friendly interfacing
Disadvantages: security aspects

I have been using orkut for last three years and till now i have already used three social networking sites, but no other site can match the versatility of orkut. Orkut is the most user friendly social networking site that can be used by a beginner also with a great ease unlike its contenders sites. The features and its ease to use makes this site a very good place to get connected with the people all around the world and discuss on various issues ...
...competition and fun. The most popular games include Crazy taxi , a racing game provided by mindjolt games and fast cricket named ICL. You can also search your old or lost friends here by just entering their names and details if they are connected to it. I joined this site initially for this reason only. And i have found 7 of my friends from my first school. Apart from its good features it has a very large number of users from all parts of the world ...
