Don't know about you guys, but I have jumped on the Orkut bandwagon and I am getting kind of addicted. Yea, Orkut is the company Google purchased - why? who knows. It basically is this new concept that allows for you to grow an online community of friends. To join one person must invite you and then you can invite others to be your friends. So it has this viral type of pattern where there member base must be growing exponentially. I have worked with this concept of Viral Marketing in the past but this might be the most promising efforts of this marketing tactic that I have ever seen. You see, the blog title was "Orkut Down Briefly at 8:25AM (EST)" and I got off on a tangent.

Anyway, I have attached a screen shot of Orkut being down at 8:25AM. I login a few times per day and I caught them. :) Later - decided to change blog title a bit.
