Another Friendster Clone, but this time from Google! Orkut

[dcdomain]

Well.. since it's from Google, I'm guessing it'll out last its counterparts. But you can't join unless you are invited... hmmm guess this thing is going to have some slow growth rate?

 

[Pokey007]

boo. I'm not invited.

 

[gopunk]

can someone invite me

 

[DonIsHere]

i want to be invited too. please?

 

[Ketteringo]

So exclusive! Everyone on there must be super cool. I wish I was on Orkut

 

[The_Dude8]

is friendster still around or it's bite the dust already?

 

[GTaudiophile]

If everyone has to be invited, who were the initial members? Google employees?

I guess so. Maybe that is the experiment, how a community can grow from within.

Well, if that's the case, the member base will start in the Silicon Valley area and spread out.

Orkut? What a great brand name. Sounds like something you'd pick up from someone on friendster and need a shot to cure.

"The Friendster clone is the work of Google employee and former Stanford graduate Orkut Buyukkokten."

I guess it all starts with him and his friends.

12,000 initial members according to slashdot

it was named after the guy at google that developed it

google tried to buy friendster and was rejected , so they had an employee develop their own version
