The better side of Orkut


The better side of Orkut

Networking sites has been in news for all the wrong reasons. It is strange why these news makers don’t see what so many millions of people see and understand. I am a big fan of networking sites, particularly Orkut.

It has only made me happier, found long lost friends, got jobs and a chance to re-discover myself. But of course the golden rule of Orkut, ‘Discover more than you disclose’ should always be followed.


The kind of benefits I have mentioned above, many people must have experienced, however apart from it there are some other lesser known advantages too. Like the following;

1. Attain the Celebrity status, by making your own videos and uploading them in orkut. Let the world see your entertaining skills. Who knows, soon you too will grow popular like the movie actors.
2. Write testimonials for your friends and hone your writing skills.
3. Check out the albums of frequent travelers and see the beautiful places around the world without spending for it.
4. Regularly read scraps by people good with the English language to improve your vocabulary and verbal communication.

I’m not sure if this post belongs to the hobbies category, but to think of it I know so many people who knowingly or unknowingly have made orkut as their favorite hobby. So I guess Orkut should come under the Hobbies section.:)
