Orkut

Now, keep in mind that I’m not the biggest fan of social software. I don’t really find it all that useful, but I didn’t say anything about Orkut while everyone else was talking about it, because I hadn’t ever actually tried it. Last night Josh was kind enough to send me an invite, so I decided to go ahead and sign up and try it out for myself. Keeping in mind that my expectations going into this are very low, we’ll see over the next few weeks whether it does anything to change my impression of social software. If nothing else perhaps it’ll help me find a few more interesting blogs to read. If it does that, I won’t consider it a waste of time, if it does anything more than that, I might just come to veiw it as useful..:)

    It’s been released, and I think Marc Orchant over at the office weblog hits the nail right on the head when it comes to non-techie home users. (think your mom, or grandparents)Firefox is not going to be the market leader as long as installing an update is this complicated! Those types of end-users are going…
