Orkut debuted Thursday and decamped Sunday. Oh well….
They got lots of whuffie in between.
As Susan Mernit points out, more than 1,000 hits for Orkut in a Feedster search.
In related news, David Weinberger claims that “orkut” is the Finnish word for “orgasm.”
People who invested a lot of time in making themselves a nice home page over at Orkut are hoping this one will turn out to be multiple.

Not to this post, but addressed to your sidebar, a belated note to inform you that you’re cute!
It might be a back-handed compliment if I said that somehow I’d pictured you as looking older, so I won’t say that.
But who’s the dude with you?
;-)

Wait, I just realized that’s not you, oops….
(Well, that’s what happens when a candidate only belatedly takes his spouse out of the Bat-cave.)

Hi Gary–Thx for the compliments to my doppelganger Judy Steinberg. As you can see from this pic of me ( http://BetsyDevine.weblogger.com/pictures/viewer$253 ) people can hardly tell us apart. Of course, what I “really* look like to myself is my 11-year-old version http://BetsyDevine.weblogger.com/pictures/viewer$694

Thanks for the link, Betsy.
Looks like some folks are almost having an orkut over the pix on your blog.
