What da he11 shud happen to us om usiong orkut? Maybe we ll get more spamming mails or scraps.
But girls putting their photos shud beware, even family photos. Thans for orkut mods for features like album locking, etc. U can make them open for friends only.
Use a seperate mailid for orkuting, so spammingll not be a problem. Let go for spammers. If u start offencing such spammers, then ull not get time for nythin else in this world.

Yes, if you don't like it, then don't use it. It's that simple. Myself and my wife are using it for over 2 yrs now without any probs.:)

now i remember a incident..

i have a girl friend (muslim) who recently got married...

her wedding photo somehow reached online and with she and her husband posing during wedding ... the photo was used to create a fake id .. using entirely different name "William"

i was randomly browsing and found this ..

the most horrible thing is under the weddin photo it was titled vulgarly...

i hate people here want to ban orkut & they are not even taking any action to do so, guys only brag when you are actually trying to do something otherwise you are wasting your time.
