Orkut

orkut

If you want to use this Social Network service, you will have to be invited by a member.

Excluuuuuuuuuuuuuuusive, huh?

“a network of trusted friends”. The members are sorted by ‘most friends’. So, the currency is friends. Yeah, I figured that out allright.

Example: Marc Canter has 200 trusted friends. With that amount of friends you need a piece of social management software, that’s for sure.

Drop me a comment or a mail, if you want an invitation.

Oh, and it comes with an integrated dating service of some kind ;-)

update: I thought about this. I don’t think that it’s possible to have 200 trusted friends. Close relations must be maintained, and there must be a upper limit somewhere. Jobs and relationships could (should, in fact) bring that limit down. But maybe I just got the word “trusted” all wrong — maybe these friends are people that you would trust to park your car or hold the door for you.

Orkut might be ok. I just think that it’s a bit phony with the invitees only stuff and I find it hard to belive that it’s a killer service. For me, at least. But I’m open — who knows what lies around the corner? I’ll just play with it for a while and see what happens. I might even turn into an Orkut Evangelist within a month!

    @many: that’s true. I should change that, shouldn’t I? To “You bring shovel, I bring wine” or something like that. “Me wine - you shovel” ;-)

    @Anna: Thanks alot. Kottke is oh so right. The other link is down, though :-/

    Sure, I’ll park your car or even walk your dog (for compensation). Chalk me up as trusted friend. Membership not required.

    Guys, you have been invited. You didn’t trust me enough to let me see your real email addresses, so I was forced into guessing. Let me know, if you don’t receive an invitation ;-)
