But slowly the Facebook fad is catching up here for many reasons- their cool apps, the privacy settings, the american population etc etc., Also, am really not sure how the apps on orkut are faring. I have not received feeds from friends on them adding or using apps or for that matter even invitations for apps. If thats not the case, am not sure how users are supposed to discover apps on Orkut. And sad enough when I visit friends profiles, it takes so long for the applications to load that, by the time it happens I am done with my job there and long gone!

To top all this, I see lot of google ads for Orkut which invariably have irrelevant ad description. If I am not wrong this is the first time I see google advertising for its own product and worst still is the fact that the ads grossly lack class!

To many of us, Google has meant class and zen which they definitely have across all their products. Well in my opinion the first exception is Orkut. There is a strong possibility of Orkut losing out to Facebook in the SNS game which is right now the biggest wave on internet

Personally this is the first slip I have seen from Google!
