Orkut

Now orkut is under pressure, its alexa rank is decreasing. Competitor social networking sites are taking lead from orkut. Orkut has lost its position in alexa ranking. It is now behind other giants like myspace, facebook, hi5. Above all, the possible Microsoft-Yahoo Combo will create havoc inside orkut. Why this is happening? Will orkut die? Let’s discuss this.

So Google and orkut have make life a little easier for users on orkut, where getting in touch and staying in touch is the name of the game. I noticed that a lot of orkut users have been using a separate instant messaging program to chat, which just seems like unnecessary work -- clicking around, keeping separate buddy lists, etc. This is why they've built Google Talk into orkut, so you can see your friends' availability and chat with them more easily. And, as a special Google Talk bonus, if you want to do more than text chat, you can make voice calls, leave voicemail, and transfer files. This will certainly become a heaeache for yahoo messenger.
