I’ve been invited to join Orkut, and although it’s cool, I guess, it’s still very obviously beta: I can’t quite get the “friend rating” and “fandom” thing to work, nor is it obvious how to write testimonials to people. Aside from the fact that it’s still new, and therefore only has cool people in it, it’s basically Friendster, which is to say, it’s a huge popularity contest with message boards.
