Is that the new craze ? Agreed, it's been around from long time so much to qualify as a veteran in 'connecting people', but as once there was craze of getting urself an e-mail id, then an IM id was in buzz, then Blogs started flaunting the limelight and now i see Orkut as the latest talk of the town. So, these days i m on Orkut for almost an hr a day. an hr a day isnt that long but it's fun.

I am taken more by the communities. You name it and there would be a community waiting for you. Your college, your class, your department, your canteen, your library, your neighborhood, your city, your favourite movies, your favourite authors, your favourite hangouts, your past times, your hobbies, there might be a community for absolutely anything and everything !!!!Phew !!

It's definitely a better way to stay connected than Blog, if thats the only reason behind someone's blogging foray, plus thanks to the communities, it clearly outclasses hi5. Also you might even run into ur long lost buddy or ur childhood crush on Orkut. I would refrain from comparing it with YM; our beloved tool to stay in touch.

It's worth trying, all u need is a Gmail (oldies would have a different orkut id, but as now Google has taken over it, your Gmail id is all you need) but beware : it's additctive and it's a BIG BIG ocean.
