Orkut is extremely popular in India. Its the MySpace for Indians. Sabeel Ahmed a terrorist (and I am ashamed to say an Indian National) who was arrested by the Australian police recently has a profile on Orkut, I was curious so I went to his profile to have a glance, his ScrapBook (Comments Section) is filled with scraps from people(Indians) heaping abuse on him. According to the mutiny the authorities are looking into his friends list and Orkut activity. I don’t use Orkut much, its more like I am forced to use it since a huge number of my friends are there on it. I suddenly realized that Orkut is much bigger than what I had thought it to be. I used to think of it as a silly social networks for Indians. According to Alexa orkut is the second most popular site for Indians beating even Google Search WOW.

WOW… that is scary ..
orkut is now blocked in UAE, so I dont think i can check this . But hey , there might be a possibility that the profile is created by someone else and uploaded the snap. This is a possibility !! As there were many cases before also , where ppl uploaded others snap and created false profiles. But anyway till the time they use it to abuse terrorist its fine. But I think Orkut is tooo open, it should have certain restriction based on content. I think its more used for adult stuffs.
