Sweet, another fun timewaster...
orkut.com is an online community website designed for friends. The main goal of their service is to make your social life, and that of your friends, more active and stimulating. orkut's social network can help you both maintain existing relationships as well as establish new ones by reaching out to people you've never met before. Who you interact with is entirely up to you. Before getting to know an orkut member, you can even see how they're connecting to you through the friends network.
orkut makes it easy to find people who share your hobbies and interests, look for romantic connections or establish new business contacts. You can also create and join a wide variety of online communities to discuss current events, reconnect with old college buddies or even exchange cookie recipes.
