For some of you who happen to read my blog are probably aware of what Orkut is since you come from regions where Orkut like sites are probably most popular than ever, am addicted to it too anyways. Orkut was launched probably 4 years back if am not wrong as a better alternative to Hi5 with its slow loading and poor features and navigation as well as a nearly competitor to the biggy MySpace. Since its launch Orkut has been in the beta phase and still in the beta phase despite the fact that in the past 2 years not much development has been done in its enhancement though it was acquired by Google the year it was made. How it was made is another story, but from what i heard was that a guy named Orkut (His profile is there on Orkut ) and a student at Stanford did the source code of this wonderful social networking website which after being loved by Google as another tool to enhance there web-empire was acquired by it, since than it has grown wonderfully well in the South American countries of Brazil that demographically is the biggest user of it and Souther Asian Countries of Pakistan and India are also among the top 10 users of Orkut. Orkut is as double as popular as the other rival Facebook (another social networking website with extra advanced features) but Orkut’s dominance in the countries is increasing because of the ease of its use. Not to forget MySpace and Facebook are a bit less user friendly despite the fact that Myspace has triple traffic (as per Alexa where Orkut is 8 and MySpace is 6th) and features as much as orkut has but its mainly because of its age and secondly because of the users that mostly are from European countries where average user has basic knowledge at least to modify and customize his/her profile with HTML.
