The orkut Addiction

Hi

Did u know of a site.. orkut.com. Its a site where u can make friends..Hold on. What do u mean by make friends??
Make friends means u can meet old acquaintances, meet new friends and interact with them over scraps. So... isnt it cool?

Well... it is and its not... I will tell u reasons for that...I am myself a member of Orkut and have more than 100 friends. Some I know..some i made. But one thing is when I was introduced to orkut I was completely addicted man!
Whew..... wat a site must say!

But the flip side is as they say "The internet is never safe". I heard of instances where people use gals photos there morph it and post bad things about anyone.. u have porn communities everywhere in the world... orkut has many!

One more thing .... How do these websites provide space for such activities? How do they survive ? Anyone thought about it... I have seen people who have 10000 scraps in their book and obviously 1 scrap takes some amt of space and given by the amount of people on orkut... i must say that become colossal isnt it?

i dont know the amt of people there on orkut.. but say if u have 200 crores of people there and each one has even 100 scraps and say 1 scrap takes 10 kb whooooooosh....... see the calculation... i wont do it :-)

Well people are addicted to orkut like people are addicted to drinks, cigarettes and others.I have seen many people continuously on orkut the whole day whiling away their time at work.... does it make sense... it does make sense when u strike a balance between work and play.... as the saying goes "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy but ... all play and no work makes Jack even duller "

So ... understand the gravity of the problem and act upon it before it becomes too late....
