Meskipun kita semua adalah tak lain hanya binatang sosial, ada beberapa hal dasar yang menjadi kami sesuatu berbeda dengan binatang.

Hal terlebih dulu adalah bahwa kami bisa berpikir di cara sehat.

Yang kedua, kami bisa mengekspresikan dirinya dan siap bertukaran gagasan kami.

Terlebih dulu semua, sangat sedikit orang mempertimbangkannya sebagai alat serius percakapan. Yang kedua, orang dari sama sekali kategori masuk di sini dan kebanyakan dari mereka baik berolok-olok atau bermain dengan emosi orang lain. Ini adalah masalah yang sangat serius dan menimbulkan efek berbahaya kepada orang serius yang benar-benar mau bertukaran gagasan mereka untuk kepentingan manusia yang lebih luar biasa beings.

Untuk memecahkan masalah dan untuk memberikan panggung kepada orang serius, situs web baru sudah telah berkembang dan mengumumkan suatu ciri-ciri biasa ekstra yang canggih yang membuat derajat intelektual sangat berkepentingan ke arah situs web bayi.

Adalah tak satu pun lain daripada Orkut, satu situs web populer terjadi di samping situs web populer lain atau mencari mesin – Google.

Orkut’s sosial jaringan bisa menolong kami untuk memelihara ada hubungan dengan gambar dan pesan, dan mendirikan yang baru dengan mengulurkan tangan untuk mendiami we’ve tidak pernah menjumpai.

Sesuatu juga bisa menciptakan dan turut serta dalam jenis luas himpunan-himpunan online untuk membicarakan peristiwa mutakhir, menyambung kembali dengan seorang teman tua atau malah bertukaran resep kesayangan anda.

Orkut was launched on 22nd January 2004 by the search engine Google. It was the brain child of Orkut Buyukkokten, a Turkish software engineer, who developed it as an independent project while working at Google. It claims to be designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships. Orkut goes a step further by permitting the creation of easy-to-setup simple forums called communities of users. Originally, the Orkut communities were felt to be elite, because its membership was by invitation only. At the end of July 2004, Orkut surpassed the 10,00,000 (ten lacks) member mark, and at the end of September 2004, it surpassed the 20,00,000 (twenty lacks) mark. As of 9th April 2007, the number of members was over 49 million.

You must have a Google account to use Orkut. You must be 18 years or older to use the Orkut.com service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that you have the capacity to understand, agree to and comply with the Terms of Service. In addition, you must provide true, accurate and complete registration information to be an Orkut.com member. As a part of registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password and you will be responsible for all activities occurring under your username and for keeping your password secure.

Before getting to an Orkut member, you can read their profile and even see how they are connected to you through the friends network.

Apart from the normal features like messaging and photo album, Orkut has a list of features unique to itself like ‘scrapbook’, ‘community’ etc.

Scrapping, though the word in not accepted officially in English, is popular among the Orkut community as a kind of offline chatting. You can scrap a person even if he is offline. The person to whom the scrap is sent will be able to see it when he visits his scrapbook. Contrary to personal messaging or email, scrap book entries are public, meaning that any one with an orkut account can read others scraps.

Another unique feature of orkut is "Communities". Anyone with an orkut account can create a community on anything. One can post topics, inform users about an event, ask them questions or just play games. There are more than a million communities on orkut on absolutely everything from hero to zero, from market to movie, from your pet to your teacher. The first five communities on orkut were started within 24 hrs of launch of orkut. In April 2007, orkut added a feature called "Polls" where in community users can be polled. Participation can be open for all or can be restricted to only the members of community.
I myself have created two communities viz – the Prantik Poriyal, for the readers of the Assamese fortnight magazine, and the COMIT, for all of you. You may join in the COMIT community and can share your thoughts, exchange your ideas and take help from some brillient students or teachers.

In addition to this Orkut has a personal messaging feature. Users rarely use this feature. It is mainly used by community owners to ask others to join their community. Though the messages are meant to be personal they aren't. If you know the exact link of the message then you can visit and read their messages.

There is also a feature to upload photos and videos into your orkut profile. One can have up to 12 photos on his album. Each photo can also be tagged with a citation. The video upload feature was added in early 2007.

Users have options to rate their friends in the order of "Best Friends", "Good Friends", "Friends", "Acquaintances" and "Haven't met".

Orkut allows anyone to visit anyone's profile. Importantly, each member can also customize their profile preferences and can restrict information that appear on their profile from their friends and/or others (not on the friends list). If person A deletes person B from his friends' list, person A will be deleted from person B's friends' list also.

Orkut has many other competitors such as MySpace and Facebook, Widespread Internet communities. The only major feature that orkut lacks is a Blogging service. Google is planning to add several new features to Orkut within 2007.

The highest user of Orkut is from Brazil. As on 16th may 2007, Brazilion Orkut users counts for 55.8% of the total users, followed by the United States and India with about 18.94% and 14.82% respectively.

In the first year of Orkut users who misbehaved or were reported to misbehave could be "jailed". Their account was suspended, their site access was reasonably limited, and their profile picture was temporarily replaced with a silhouette of a man behind prison bars. Although this served a useful purpose, the way users were selected to be jailed caused heated discussions and complaints among Orkut users: every user's profile has a "Report as Bogus" button, which, if pressed, automatically flagged the user to be jailed. Conceivably, this meant that anyone could be jailed at any time by pressing a single button.

Users who were jailed were not informed of the reason, nor were they notified that they had been jailed. Jailing usually did not last long (up to 24 hours in most cases), but was often disturbing to users, as there is no direct contact to the Orkut team (their contact form only answers with template emails), and jailing limits one's options to waiting or posting in a designated forum. Ironically, site users once reported that Orkut Büyükkökten, the creator of the site himself, was jailed. The jail system is currently deactivated due to its inefficiency.

Though it is a new concept for all of us it may help us in various ways. Here we may learn from others as well as can teach others. It may add a new meaning to our life. It may help us to choose the write way and to take some critical discissions. We may find here a friend who can do much for us even from thousands of kilometers away.

The popularity of the Orkut is growing day by day. Now, it is a complete society of gentlemen where we can actively take part to live a better life and also can be a part of the same to create a e-society of e-gentlemen.
