Hi Mylotters! I don't orkut myself; it bores me to just scrap and add friends. Moreover, orkut has also become a great place for married people to fool around. However, someone from Mangalore Friends Group sent me this email about Orkut and it is so amazing that I felt like sharing it with you. I am attaching a photograph that I also got through email today. So read on and enjoy!! "A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident.... but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list. This guy grew up n became IT technical architect in his late 20?s, achievement in itself!!He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his gf through the web.. Things went as planned... n he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!!It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a word with this guy n took over this application,This Software made a whopping 1 billion dollars profit in its first year,which we today know as ORKUT.
