Having received an invite for Orkut, I've registered and am ready to go about and test this new addition to the Google universe.
The initial registration is fairly straightforward; name, email, username, gender, geography, birthdate and what you're looking to find: friends, business contacts, "activity partners" and dating. There are modifiable privacy tags for key information like email and birthdate, and optional settings are myself, friends, friends of friends and "everyone".
Great relationships begins with honesty, so we'd like to let you know up front that orkut is still a beta service. That means that it may appear a bit flaky at first. It may even require some quiet time alone to work out some issues. We hope you’ll bear with orkut as it strives to better itself. After all, that’s what good friends do.The follow up registration pages are very very comprehensive, offering optional fields from everything from "favourite books" and cuisine, race, kids, education (will FriendsReunited.co.uk, classmates / schoolmates and similar services see competition coming their way in the future?), employer, work contact details, "body art" and much much more... It's clear that this is a tool that will grow in many directions at once (want to find friends of friends that work in the hi-tech industry? No problem. Looking for visibly tattooed activity partners? Also an option).
I've signed up with reasonably minimal amounts of personal information, but I'm in.
The site is fast, and as should be expected from Google, the user interface is light, not too stashed full of images etc, and very intuitive. I look forward to testing the exploration of networks once more people get online.
Let's see where this leads us!
I'm kind of curious about Orkut, based on the fact that Google's behind it it could prove to be something a lot more interesting than previous experiments in the same area.
Guess I'll have to keep wading through my spam and hope that somebody will send me an invitation :)
