Orkut officially launch Orkut Media

The Orkut team sent me this email today, officially announcing the Orkut Media. I saw this new tab when I access Orkut a week ago and wondered what it is. Here is what it is all about... Dear Ashley, Today all of us here at orkut are pleased to announce the launch of orkut media, a weekly collection of writings and photos by our very own orkut members. When you land at http://media.orkut.com, you'll venture into the realm of love and politics and beyond. Here's a quick lay of this new land: the "Porch" offers a variety of columns ranging from the hot and humorous to the thoughtful and thought-provoking, along with galleries of riveting photos from around the world. The "Lounge" and "Studio" will contain archives of all the collected orkut media material (on the off-chance that you miss a week), along with tidbits about contributing writers and photographers. orkut media can be viewed by anyone surfing the Web. And it's open for you, the orkut member, to submit your own work. Got something to say? A perspective that you think needs to be heard? Go ahead and send us a column, write us a letter, or forward a photo. As always, you can make your thoughts known in a community forum and start a discussion. So tell us what you think, in whatever way suits you. We just hope you enjoy your experience at http://media.orkut.com. Stay beautiful, the orkut team

Orkut

Received an invitation to join Orkut yesterday. I am familiarising my way around Orkut. I have a Friendster account too but I kinda like Orkut more. For starters there are loads of communities to join. That makes it interesting. For those who do not know about Orkut, it is an online social networking community. Membership to join is by invitation only. It was created by a Google engineer by the name of Orkut Buyukkokten. Image of the Orkut home page after login. Numerous communities available.
