Dear Orkut, Lets Be Fraaaand Again.

Once upon a time there exists a planet in the galaxy of social networking - the planet orkut. This was planet whose inhabitants were 'fraaaaandship' addict. They decorated their profile with stylish fonts,added subtitle to their display name, flaunted in 'about me' box, made various designs using text to welcome people on their profile. There was a time when the number of scraps were considered as popularity meter, when your mood determined the theme of your profile. For amusement, there were communities on planet orkut. _________________________________________ But as nothing lasts forever, there came a trouble for this planet's existence. There is a law in nature that if you are able to adapt yourself according to the events occuring around you, you will survive else you will be called outdated. Orkut failed to do so. It failed to evolve and hence was lost in an abyss. _________________________________________ Its human nature to seek something new as we get bored of repeatedness. Just like a newbie television show loses TRP, as it is telecasted for years. Same happened in case of orkut. The orkutiyans got bored of it and migrated in search to new planets like facebook. We are wanders when it comes to social networking, we keep migrating, from orkut to facebook or from facebook to google plus. Its genetic quality that transferred to us via sperm of our ancestor Adam and Eve. _________________________________________ Talking about resurrection of orkut, I see a bleek chance of this. _________________________________________ > As most of orkutiyans presently hold a facebook sociality (in context to nationality) their is a little chance of them reverting back to orkut. Instead they would like to explore new social networks like google plus. _________________________________________ > moreover facebook keep introducing new features that increases its magnetising strength and binds audience together. _________________________________________ There would have been a lot many chances of revival of orkut if google had brought out some changes to its appearance and promoted orkut instead of google plus. Its tough to go back to rejected things and people but if they change then we can give them a chance. I know many of you miss those anonymous fraaaaandship requests crappy scraps, testimonials, communities and those beautiful fonts just like i do. _________________________________________ Someday i shall go back to that planet and do more of fraaaandship and blabber about it. To me, orkut is like a school going kid who is bright and exciting where facebook is akin to a office going employee who is quite professional and formal. And i miss my childhood. _________________________________________
