Orkut to get a makeover, Not that anyone cares
Remember the time when orkut was a big rage and actually exciting to use? It had launched just around the time Gmail launched (If I remember correctly) and was riding on the Google-is-great hype. And it was fun. Maybe it seemed to be fun because it was the first and only social network that my friends and I had used. But we did enjoy it, a lot.
It got me in touch with old school friends and brought back memories. It brought to my notice that the cute girl from the junior batch was actually dumb and had pathetic taste in almost everything. It helped me connect with people from different colleges who got placed in the same company as me. And the concept of open information was like a blessing in disguise for certain people. I have friends who used to come and tell me that I had a new scrap from X. They practically knew everything about everyone’s life as long as they were on orkut!
