ok first up this is crap ... how many such stupid sites are we gonna have :x ...

now about the news :)

After Reliance's BigAdda, Sabeer Bhatia has entered the Indian social networking rat race with the launch of ApnaCircle. A creation of Apnacircle Infotech Pvt. Ltd, ApnaCircle helps people to make new friends and professional acquaintances and thus make their social life more active, interesting and more fruitfully rewarding. ApnaCircle's social network helps maintain known relationships with scraps, uploaded photos, customized messages and establish new relations by reaching out to people they've never met before, all through ApnaCircle.

These sites are not good due to negligence of the responsibility of users and site owner.That was the reason why i left orkut.I hate orkut now and these sites and myspace is not an exception.

It looks better than orkut as it gives you points which you can exchange for getting gadgets

"Rat Race" is the word to use. Gmail offers a lot of mail space, everyone jumps in. Orkut becomes a hit, suddenly there are all sorts of networking sites. They're trying to milk as much money as they can out of the same thing, so that they don't have to innovate too much.

Last thing that I heard about him was that, he was going to wed Aish.
Now, I dont know how much sensible that was going to be.

@Mangal Pandey,

Wedding Ash was a fiction. Times had come up with a few pairs for Ash with some famous personalities and its aftermath
