Everyone is trying to figure out the point behind orkut. Here's Avi Bryant's take:
Jeremy [Hylton] came up with a definition I like: "Orkut friends -- someone who you would buy a beer for if they were in town".I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you, to learn that social networks are merely a means to get free beer!So if you're on Orkut and you get an invitation from me, consider it an implicit promise of a pint sometime down the road.
"I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you, to learn that social networks are merely a means to get free beer! "
I'm shocked that he's found a good use for social networks at all.
