orkut - under construction
by Rattle at 12:00 am EST, Jan 26, 2004

] We've taken orkut.com offline as we implement some
] improvements and upgrades suggested by users. Since orkut
] is in the very early stages of development, it's likely
] to be up and down quite a bit during the coming months.
] None of the information you've entered will be deleted,
] and none of the connections you've made will be lost.
] And, if all goes well, you should see some significant
] improvements when we come back online.

I had been curious about Orkut since made aware of its existence. I was pleased with what I saw the first time saw it, when I got an uber-quick tour via someone else's account. This time around only confirmed the clue I saw present then. I believe they are basing their architecture on a way more valid model of a social network then any of the other players out there I have seen. You can tell they know it can be used for way more then the Friendster style color scheme suggests.

I knew Google had clue. I expect great things from Orkut.

] We'll send an email once everything is ready and running
] again. Thanks for your feedback and for bearing with us
] as we work our way up the learning curve.

Don't worry about it.. You folks can fart over there, and we (everyone) will wind up hearing about it. I think your doing a great job thus far. You can see how good Tom and I are doing.. Hehe..

You get your own subtle (pre-planned?) irony. Today, under construction is the joke of the Internet.. Tomorrow or the day after? Hmm.. Going to have to eyeball the index for that one.


 
Orkut

I'm having a lot of fun with Orkut, myself.

Today I went through my address book and invited a bunch of people who I thought might be interested (if I missed you, please accept my apologies and drop me a line, and I'll get you invited).

Oh, and one of my friends lives in Finland. When he got my invite, he got a hearty laugh out of it. Evidently in Finnish, the word "orkut" means "orgasms"! :)

He said:

I can hardly wait for the proper launch of orkut in Finland. I could pay something to be able to make the commercials.

About orkut:
"Orgasm is an online community website designed for friends. The main goal of our service is to make your social life, and that of your friends, more active and stimulating. orgasm's social network can help you both maintain existing relationships and establish new ones by reaching out to people you've never met before. Who you interact with is entirely up to you. Before getting to know an orgasm member, you can even see how they're connecting to you through the friends network.

orgasm makes it easy to find people who share your hobbies and interests, look for romantic connections or establish new business contacts. You can also create and join a wide variety of online communities to discuss current events, reconnect with old college buddies or even exchange cookies recipes.

To join orgasm, simply click on the link in the email you received and follow the instructions for creating a user name and password. If orgasm doesn't sound like it's for you, feel free to delete your invitation. If you change your mind in the future, don't worry! We'll still be here.

If you haven't yet received an invitation to join, please be patient. We'd love to immediately include everyone who wants to participate; however, we're also trying to ensure that orgasm remains a close-knit community. Over the next few weeks, hopefully, the network will grow to a point where everyone who wants to join has the opportunity to do so.

It is our mission to help you create a closer, more intimate network of friends. We hope to put you on the path to social bliss soon.
