Orkut?

[swestrup]

Here's a simple question to everyone who's in my Orkut friends list. Do you ever use Orkut? If so, for what?

The reason I ask is that it doesn't seem terribly useful as currently set up. I think I know what the inventor was trying for, and I think he failed. I log in once a week or so, and check out the useless emails I get. I haven't gotten any spam, but I'm not sure its worth my while to wade through broadcast posts in spanish asking for brazillian LJ users who know anything about nanotech...

In other news, I got Ximian to (finally) talk to courier-imap. Yay! Now I'm beginning to think that I'll be awake enough to work on Postfix today. It certainly cool enough in the office now.

But first things first: Breakfast!

A friend of mine swears by two of the communities ("Bad Advice" and "That Was a Terrible Idea"), but I found the interface is pretty cumbersome - surprisingly, for a Google service - so I see no huge reason to pick them over any other source of online comedy.
