DecSaturday,


Saying goes, " Any publicity is good publicity", I think this will be very much so for Orkut, a google social networking site in India. Orkut was in news in India for its hate India communities, and this time around its in news for its Fan clubs. If it would have been a fan club for a some film star or some sports person then it would have gone down well with public and watchdogs. But when the fan club is for Dawood, a don and a international terrorist, then one can be sure that watchdogs are watching you.
This will go on and now with more speed, because google is open now and hugely popular in Indian sub continent, and Dawood is an international don from same region, and one more reason for that is that orkut is now open for public registrations and is not a invite only service. And in a country like India where cyber laws are not clearly defined, there such things can not be curbed easily. Moreover Orkut or Google does not tell about their policy about removal of any profile if reported as an abuse.
But if you are an Orkut user then you have reason to be happy, because soon you will be able to find more friends because Orkut is garnering some hefty publicity, in Indian press.
