I have not been too keen, in participating in community based websites like orkut.com, hi5.com or even myspace.com. But my friends , got me interested in and even ended up helping me to register and use them. Now i have profiles on hi5 and orkut. Its quite interesting to find so many people , long lost friends and schoolmates. But now i have to manage 2 accounts, with some friends in orkut and some in hi5 and its difficult. i was wondering if there is one site to manage all of these. There are features in orkut , not available in Hi5 and vice versa.
Google has just purchased orkut , blogger & Youtube. i wonder whats in their mind for all this community sites. i hope they decide to combine all of it into 1 major community site.
Currently .. i manage this blog, and my friends wants to me to write discussions and articles on orkut too… i think i prefer to write here(on my blog), as it is open for everyone to read and doesnt require anyone to register or login.
The only community website I am involved with is www.flickr.com
But that’s basically for people who are interested in photography.
Since orkut is part of Google, maybe I will give it a shot one day.
flickr is a great site. i think one of the few or should i say only photography community ?
Myspace is the best, they recently launched a myspace chat.
It was a brilliant concept the way it was done, because myspace’s basic intention is to accost strangers - and adding the myspace IM now instead of before eases in the concept of getting IMs from strangers (bcoz you get IMs from strangers in your inbox anyway)
Maybe its a craze that will fade, but it has a long way to go before it fades. Despite that, these community websites are turnign into a cult. Can you tell how much time the whole world is wasting?
MySpace i heard is good, or way better than the others , but as you say .. its a craze which people find it trendy till …….. …….till its old fashion/outdated.
