THIS IS AS CLOSE AS IT CAN GET
Social networks are hub sites. Alternatives to the normal search, email, and on- line news, they offer a home for users to post mini biographies, lists their interests, photos of their choice, quizzes, polls and the like. One of such amazing networks is Orkut -- a very famous social network services run by Goggle. Its been named after its creator Orkut Büyükkökten who was a software engineer working for Google. This is the most simple internet social network that I have ever stumble upon.
After a long, hectic day, when I log in to check my e-mails. As the icon jumps at me to indicate I had received mails, I feel relieved, if not happy. It’s always nice to know that someone remembers me, or at least I am nice enough to be included in their forwards list. For a person living far away from home, the simple blue site with a friendly purple logo is the closest I can get to the feeling of home. Looking back about 3 years down the line orkut has grown up a lot. It has a lot of added features like photo, scraps, favorite videos and so much more to make it easier to communicate with friends, family and share content. And there latest is that, they have also translated the site into 12 languages so that we can add orkut friends from all over the globe.
Thanks to Orkut, I feel at home all the time with my friends and family always made available on-line.
