I deleted my account, I mean on orkut. I never thought I would do it after having joined it a month after its launch in 2004 and being on it for more than 4 years. Initially it was fun. But after that, apart from getting in touch with some of my old school friends I didn’t find anything else interesting at all. I don’t communicate with my friends through scraps and I don’t hit on girls on orkut. That is pretty much any guy who I know does in orkut. I don’t go to some (female)stranger’s profile and scrap “I want to be friends with you” .I want to bash the fellows who do this, seriously. So I am out of that site
Some say in this modern world networking is important (especially being an MBA student at AIM where placements are blah blah blah ) and you have to network as much as you can but frankly how they want me to do that in orkut is something that I don’t want to listen to even. And these groups in orkut are a big farce. I have done nothing in orkut groups except joining them. Yeah..yeah I know…it depends on how you use it but orkut is not a serious place and for that matter any social networking site. I don’t know how many use it seriously for their benefit though it is not meant for that. I have read about some MBA students who don’t really like to be on these sites but do it just because the whole class is on it and they would lose the network . Me not doing it.I have already got many invites for facebook, hi5, friendster etc etc…and almost all from the same people. The same faces that I see everyday will be also be there when I log on to orkut and facebook. And some intelligent creatures scrap their classmates “hi” and “how are you” whom they would have been with in the class just an hour ago.
If you get a feeling I am so unsocial, you are wrong. I have my friends and I have ways to keep in touch. But I don’t use every techno piece of crap that comes on the net.I feel some have got the concept of networking wrong. I am not an expert but I at least know what it is not.
