Dear DP members, Please tell me honestly as to which among the above social network is best and which do you use the most......... Thanks 4 replying......
That depends a lot on individuals and what they like, Facebook is a world wide craze, where Orkut is mostly used in Brazil and some Asian countries. I think orkut is nowhere close to facebook at all.
Orkut is not very popular in the U.S. but it is in South America and Asia. It depends on who you ask and what their target market is.
Google has massive advertising ability. Even more than facebook. I predict that orkut will outdo facebook within the next year.
Forget about it, Orkut is a total flop show! Google guys are working on a new social networking site in competition with Facebook. And this secret project's code name is "Google Me"
orkut sucks, everyone knows it... and the comment from dgaunn4114 is kinda false. Google's advertising ability is VERY strong, it MAY have something to do with the fact that they are really an advertisement company, However facebook's popularity + constant user ship + integration into other websites makes them have just as a big a span as google. Many websites have these two things: A log in via facebook option + google search bar... those two things will stay like that for a VERY long time.
A year? Really? First of all Google has had Orkut for some years now and hasn't made a dent in FB's popularity. Second FB has over 350 Million users and growing by over 77,000 a day. How is Google going to beat that,when they can't even catch it? Just because they can blanket the web with ads, doesn't mean people are going to jump on the band wagon of yet another Social Media site..especially when all of their friends, family, associates and business acquaintances are on Facebook. I'd be willing to bet you $1000 that there is no way that this will happen anytime soon, and $2000 that it won't happen in the next year.
If you haven't noticed... Maybe because you are outside USA. Google runs ads every now and then on tv. Funny thing though is everyone else runs ads and includes the line "we are on facebook".... Facebook gets FREE advertising 24/7 lmao. Possible things that may cause orkut to win: google put millions into zynga recently... Zynga basically supports facebook massively, damn farmville addicts.... If farmville and the rest leave fb and go to orkut because they are getting funding and special treatment from google then that could cause facebook downfall. The only other thing that'd ever cause facebook to be beat by orkut would be. IF china ever got the major anti-Internet bug out their ass.... Whichever site they decided to unblock/unblock first could potentially become king of the web.... But I think 2012 world destruction will happen before china stops being their own world to join earth.
Don't compare Orkut with Facebook, Facebook is way top and its the best social networking in the world now.
Facebook is definitely far better then orkut in every sense... Its features, network of people, speed and user friendly tools... Orkut is no where near. I was using orkut for years, but once I started using facebook I realized its much better.
Facebook offcourse is better than orkut. Facebook got large number of users whereas Orkut is being used mostly in asian counties. Also facebook has more scripts and interesting applications.
in short..... facebook= horny little guys from all over the world orkut= horny little guys from asia and brazil... SImple....
Heyy...Thats not right....well....at least the little part..lol my girlfriend read this post.....and went..."do you know this guy?" please be careful..my GF uses my system sometimes.....
