I ain't liking it. The reason why I liked orkut was its simplicity.

done that, but when i've visited his profile, found nothing.
may be whenever he'll login, he'll get some splash screen kind of thing.

I'll have to ask him. btw most of the applications are crap.

I had deleted my Orkut account few days back coz I didn't have time for it.

Now, it looks like I have to reopen it again.

i just like the new feature of using low bandwidth of orkut , if you have limited speed of the internet. but the disandvantage is i can't see the photos quickly. over all it's good for low bandwidth internet users.
