Orkut sucks ...
Last time I was on orkut it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be .. a few friends ... a few useless scraps .. and a group for our company with few members ... the whole thing appeared to be quite boring ..
1 year later I just got curious what are these guys upto ... had received some interesting email invitations like .. "Red Hat Gulhane" fan club and few people I never knew had identified and invited me to be friends ...
So I went in exploring and found the base has grown quite a bit .. Bitwise group has 90 members and I don't recognize 90% of them ... then I sarted looking at my friend list .. then friends friend list and so..on ... found a few interesting scraps but most were pretty boring n routine ... BUT ..
as I returned to my home page to sign-off I saw the new feature ... that tells u who looked at ur profile last ... and thats when I learned that I have left my signature on every profile viewed .. thats fu***** crapy !! .. it was too late to know that I can disable this feature ... so I decided not to bother ...
Anyway, the good side of it was that I found a link to our own chirkut Mr. Boneman's blog .. it was fun to read a friends blog after some time .. and that reminded me of our own chirkuts blog and my own blog .. suddenly I found motivation to write @ something without caring too much @ profiles and scraps and invitations .. so have decided to spend some time on this regularly ..
