A few months back, I joined orkut.com through a friend who invited me there. For those who have come late, orkut is a networking site through which one can keep in touch with long-lost friends and also make new ones. I personally think it is a good site. I'm in touch with many school-friends through this "controversial" portal.
You must be wondering why I've called it "controversial". If you have been following your newspaper daily, you must have come across certain incidents related to orkut which by no means can be called impressive. These things are being done by perverts and to one's wonder, proper restrictions are not being taken by the makers of the site to stop them. Orkut is not very safe.
One can easily copy photographs from a person's profile id here, paste them in their respective computers and create a menace out of it. Also, privacy does not exist in this site. But this is how networking sites are supposed to be. Other such sites like hi5, ryze, etc are facing the same problems. I heard that indiatimes will be making a networking site which is going to be safe. Lets wait and watch! Till then, orkut zindaabaad!!!
