Well its a nice idea to write on orkut, and it has changed the way we human beings interact, but I think that there is more to orkutting which we often tend to neglect in the awe of the sheer magnanimity of the number of people u can meet…But there are a lot of things which you haven’t really considered on part of orkut.

1- It has really come up as an addiction and has been cramming a lot of time (Specially the students’ who are the most active population there) which could have been used for other constructive purposes2- It has make us form pre-concieved opinions on people based on their profiles, How many times it happens that u tend to judge a person by number of friends, number of scraps and number of fans (s)he has.

3- The mechanism of Orkut which allows u to download photographs of people without there permission is also been a nuisance, where people have downloaded photograps and morphed it and posted back on net

4- Then there are lot of people running fake profiles, just to play pranks…

5- You also get a lot of friends request from people, whom u would not like to be seen with and associated with, and u don’t want to offend them with refusing your friends request.

I am also a big fan of orkut and a frequent orkutter and I reply almost every scrap but still I feel that there are some constraint that come along with the fast, easy and convinient interface as orkut are applicable in this case also…
