This website aims to build a large network of individuals who are willing to build friendships and interact with people over the internet. It is like a community.

What makes Orkut a worthwhile website to visit? First and foremost, Orkut offers free services to its members. Secondly, Orkut’s membership is not open to everyone. You must be personally invited by Google to become an account member. How does this system work? Orkut invites people by simply giving current members the privilege to invite their friends and relatives. Is this beneficial or not? According to Google, this system provides assurance that members really do exist and are not just identities created by people who have nothing good to do in their lives. Since, we are already part of a social network in our school, workplace, church, and community, there are great chances that our friends are already members of Orkut and would invite us.

Once you become a member of Orkut, you may begin viewing profiles of its many members. You can hunt for old friends who’ve migrated to other countries, or look for people who have similar hobbies and affiliations that you have, or even invite your crush to be a part of your personal network.
