Hi Friends, I have 1250 friends in Orkut. I know all of them personally. I get friend requests from many. But i will accept only if i know them personaly. I ask how he/she knows me in case i dont recognise them. How about you guys? Do you accept friend requests from stangers?

First I am not a member of Orkut, for me accepting friends request depends to what network I am using with, I mean a site, if it a personal blog I usually am selective to people I know of, in case like mylot whereby there are plenty of people I usually accept people's request irregardless of who they are but when it comes to private messaging I am cautios in some respect, I did give a boundary between myself and to some stranger I met online. Sometimes it is fun to talk to people online, but leaving your private identity matters as you didnt know whom you are dealing with.

I too do the same. In Orkut i never accept friend requests from stragers. But in Mylot i accept almost all friend requests. It will help me to find good discussions from my discussions. Also it will help me to more responses for my discussions

Hi Friend, I dont think Orkut is a bad site. But we need to keep in mind that Orkut is a public place and should share personal details there. Also we should not use it as an Option to chat as many of them can see your scrap. Even if any of my friedns ask for my phone number or other details, i will ask them to mail me or if i know their mail id's, i will reply throu the mail. I never reveal such informations thru scraps. Good thing abount Orkut is that i could get many of old friends. I was not able to contact them after school or college. I am happy for that

I never accept strangers into my profile. I do accept only if they are my real friends.

Well occasionally I do accept friends request from even people I do not know. I honestly don't see anything wrong with that as I also do send requests to people I don't even know. It is all part of networking and getting to know people. That's the beauty of social networking sites.

No I would not really accept anyone that I don't know as a friend, unless they have a reason why they want to become my friend.
