Lol , what a crap story - and involving girlfriend in it making the feel of sentiments. lol sentiments and money - no way related.
A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident.... but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list. This guy Code (markup): This part itself makes u not believe the story come on if the person is alive he will come to his house only rite
Orkut is just awesome. I believe that if someone worked really hard on it, they would be able to make it 10x better than facebook. Facebook is really awful in many areas (like forums, group management, plain-text?, layout (tiny layout and bad positioning of things), annoying group settings (can't rename groups), crappy moderator options for group admins, no way to advertise group without paying), I'm just surprised no one can defeat it.
If that was true it would've been posted on wikipedia . Link to Orkut's page on wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut_Büyükkökten
This is not true. And more over now orkut is owned by Google. Do you think they will pay so much? No way.. The ads which are shown on orkut also can't earn that much amount.
Totally crap! If it was true Google would be bankrupt now or get merged by this Mr. Orkut Buyukkoten.
Orkut was started by a Google employee - G funded it as part of their employee personal projects initiative
Unfortunately it doesnt matter how much better your platform is than Facebook - its about the users and compounding users All your friends are on FB - why would you change
You should read the entire thread before asking this True There are still people who go ahead and post stupid posts before reading the terms of the forum. It is sad. Also, I suggest posters to read what the other members are saying before believing whatever said right away. People can make up a billion stories. This is called cocked up stories. If this is true, what would be the earnings of founders of twitter, facebook, hi5, and Myspace? Combined, they will knock down Google, Yahoo and MS, no?
