Like many other young Indians I also jumped on Orkut when it was launched in India and was addicted to it for quite sometime. To give the application its due credit Orkut has helped me very much in overcoming a really bad phase of my life; it was a great stress buster.
Then some horror stories happened in India using Orkut and even some of my friends were also victim and Orkut has lost its charm for many of us until it has introduced some new features like restricted view of your profile to only your friends.
Personally, I find Orkut to be much better for regular interactions than any other SNS; you cant beat the convenience of leaving a scrap. With all the new features Orkut has added (some are little old as well but just to get an overall view in recent times) it is back in favorites:
a) Restricted view of your photos, scraps and practically everything for your friends only
b) Cool Applications
c) Updated Status Message
d) Themes (7 are operational and 5 more to come)
e) Photo Tagging (Tagging of your photo in the entire site)
In a nutshell, Orkut is responding to the competition and innovating the product continuously and so far has been successful in retaining its position of no. 1 social networking site in India.
