I always enjoy reading spot on articles by an author who is obviously knowledgeable on their chosen subject. I’ll be following this thread with much interest. Keep up the good work, I will be back

I see a hint of desperation on google’s side when i see ads getting displayed on youtube (which were previously collapsible) instead of “related videos”.. Its kind of nice to see someone out there intimidating the big fish

In fact orkut now has a web version where you can switch off graphics so it can load faster (no not the mobile version)

check it out in your settings

Yeah, true most apps lack class. Minglebox has an app on Orkut. Thats some sign of desperation from both ends!

It would be good if Google integrates Blogger with Orkut. That can get people to spend more time there, checking out friends blogs. In a way blog is more of an identity than apps

Yaa surely Orkut guys are not able to handle this apps thing for sure. They started all this because they were forced into this by facebook but I must say they have failed till now in this.

Now its such a pain when you visit your friend’s profile. It takes hell lot of time even on my lappy 3 GHz and 3 Gb RAM. What the hell if i am a orkut user from internet cafe.

Apart from that I didn’t really liked the apps so much on orkut. Apart from one or two out there, others dont have a class. Most seems like a copy of things from facebook. Photo tagging is another thing orkut recently had to inject because of facebook.

So when one website is in a state (facebook) that it starts forcing the other (orkut) to make changes and live up in the market, its clear that its bbye time for the 2nd one (specially if they r unable to handle things).

Recently I have started getting do nuts page too.

Yeah.. right.

I’ve almost moved to facebook. Orkut was good, once, when it was classic. But I hate the poor security…

Facebook, as I read in an article somewhere back last year, is indeed a platform like PC in itself.
The development of apps is also supercool, full-proof (almost).. which is why its been doing better and better.
