R I P Orkut

Orkut....a first in social networking site
Orkut.....a networking site with a difference
Orkut......a networks for true friendship
Orkut.....an invitation only networking group.
These were the features given by Google when launching Orkut in early 2000. Though this network grew with gr8 speed, it failed to sustain his membership. After several attempts of revival, finally it toll the final bell for Orkut.
Come September, Orkut will be laid to rest. Long live Orkut.
