Orkut
This is an absolutely amazing community I discovered online.
You see, for the last one month I have been desperately searching for mates online(Not necessarily a soulmate, but just someone to hold n touch n caress...). I started with Shaadi.com - which I must tell u is pretty good. It requires payment for u to really make it work for u, but then that's the price u pay for quality.
I then moved on in search of free options and I discovered Indian friend finder. This is also a pretty good site and I got some response from it, but it has a lot of dead/inactive members in it. Then someone told me about orkut.
Orkut is owned by google and like gmail, one needs an invite to open an orkut account. I had never heard of orkut before, so I was a bit sceptical. But when I got access to the site, I was shocked. It was like there exists a whole different reality that I did not even know exists. This site is as close as it gets to real life communities. Discovering this site was actually like disocvering a whole new city underneath your present city. Like u peel back the cover and u suddenly see a whole buzz of activity, of people going about in their busy lives - meeting, chatting, dating, flirting - quite like suddenly discovering a colony of busy ants.
The future potential of this site is truly mind boggling - this site will only grow and I can only imagine the grip that google will have on the internet economy some years from now. In fact I think most people on this site will prefer it to real world. And I think this is going to be the next big thing after blogging. But the only issue is the lack of competition in this domain - or maybe there is competition and I just don't know about it.
So do u want to know what the Orkut is?
Unfortunatley you cannot be told what the Orkut is. You have to see it for yourself ;-)
