Heard of Orkut? Well for those who have already joined Google’s Orkut bandwagon and loving every moment of it, the question might seem utterly strange but Facebook enthusiasts and others might have some question marks on their faces. Named after its creator Orkut Büyükkökten (a Google employee), Orkut is Google’s very own social networking website on the Internet. In spite of its failure to match up to Facebook, which remains to be the numero uno in social networking and is extremely popular in America, Orkut has managed to create a strong base in countries like Brazil, India and many other non-US countries. With a recent interface make-over, Orkut seems to be doing quite well in the online social circuit however its comparison with Facebook remains to be a question that is bound to give way to a heated debate.
