Poll: Why haven't you joined orkut?

[Manoel]

I searched for "orkut" on ChiefDelphi and didn't find anything.
There's already a FIRST Robotics Competition community, but it only has 80 members...
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, try this.
Does anyone use it?
For those who need an invitation, just post below and some one will end up inviting you

Regards,

I just got invited to it the other day!! I've been wanting to get in, then when I asked someone else if they heard about it, they said: "oh, ive been a member of that for months. want an invitation?" I'm kinda too lazy to finish my profile and search it and stuff, but I defentally will!

I never got invited to this :\

Well, nor have I ever heard of this til now, but it does seem pretty cool. It's like FIRST socials internet-style from what I've read.

I never heard of orkut before. I didn't know what it was until I read the link that was posted.

how does it work? Is it like a forum where people post stuff or it's something else?

No one really knows how to define it and, deep, deep down, it is useless...
But here's what I like about it:
a) There are communities about everything and I get a good laugh from some of them

b) It has something to do with the six (or seven - some will argue) degrees of separation theory. Whenever possible, the system will show you how "far" you are from someone. It's pretty cool seeing two completely different friends of yours (who you never thought possible were connected in some way) actually knowing each other, sometimes for a longer time than you did!

c) There's a FIRST Robotics Competition community - you can't dislike something with FIRST in it!

d) You can spend an incredibly long time surfing orkut and reading communities, searching for friends and all while you have lots of exams and papers to hand in without actually noticing it - oh wait, that's bad!

There you go, now make an informed decision!
