Journal Elwood P Dowd's Journal: I will invite you to Orkut 12
Comment below with your name and email addy, and I will invite you to Orkut. I would prefer that you comment rather than email, but if you must, I am an href equals mailto dojothemouse@mac.com.
And please only request once. I will invite people in order requested, and stop when I'm bored. Or when this entry gets archived.
I'll warn you now, Orkut sucks. It is a giant geek sausage party / popularity contest. You appear higher on every list if you have more friends and they rate you highly. The self-worship evidenced on Orkut Buyukkokten's profile is the best example of this idiotic focus, and you will find his profile quickly. Because he has so many friends. Don't you want to be like Orkut?
I'm just saying...
Anyway, right now, as of 11:31PM PDT on Thursday, Orkut is down. So I'm only going to start adding people after work tomorrow, assuming they're back up. And assuming some Buyokkokten coworker doesn't delete my account.
PS "Buyok" and "kokten" will replace "foo" and "bar" in all my future programming endeavors.

And this one [orkut.com] is pastel blue with a violet logo, which scares the hell out of me. Well, maybe you should invite me, because one should confront their inner fears, or so they say.

The name's Jurgen Mayer. (Juergen if you don't want to search for the code for those pesky dots on the u.)
Is it possible to form an orkut subculture that despises orkut?

Grab them now!
What would the rules be?
1. you can only join if you *aren't* invited.
2. you can't see any info about other members.
3. each member is issued a randomized ID, so there is no cool factor in having a low number

Yeah, yeah, that will be spam harvested, but it's not my primary address and Thunderbird does a decent filtering job.:)
Anyways, much appreciated gesture, comrade.:D

Strangely enough, we're three degrees apart on friendster [friendster.com]. It's a small world. And getting smaller.
