The Orkut profile.

Al rite i am a self confessed Orkut addict, i love to roam from profile to profile and check out what the gals scrapped the guy and vice versa. I love to check out totally random guys and their pics.

And the more profiles i see the more i wonder what is the point people try to prove using their profiles. They range from downright stupid to weird and ..

Take for example the solo pictures guys put on their main introductory page.
Some people put real dude types pics with goggles or displaying biceps or on a harley davidson or simply smiling 19 to the dozen.
My heart really goes out to these people wondering exactly what type of gals they will be able to attract using Orkut. (That is their primary purpose i assume)

Then there are the people who use their names as constant status updates...

XYZ will be back to India on So and so date, or ABC.. hhmm enjoying first snowfall.

Dudes if any of you reading that has a name like this, any one who needs to know your travel plans will just ask you and if you need to broadcast your interests well thats just pathetic.

Its bad enough that people post their telephone numbers in their names, as if the whole world just needs to know their numbers and cant wait to read the number posted inside the profile.

Then, I bet you've seen this
Place:- Bombay> Bangalore> Paris> San Francisco California.
As if it isn't bad enough that Orkut makes you fill in your birth place and current location separately in your profile these guys need to advertise every single place they have ever been to. Dudes get a life.

The funniest are guys (and gals are guilty of this too) who post their personal intimate romantic pictures on their Orkut albums, (and then you say Orkut is full of stalkers). People will pull all stops to put their marriage pics or honeymoon pics on their public albums. The last (and one i am guilty of myself) are ppl who put nature pics, ie mountains seas and forests as if they are all Columbuses' reborn.

Dont even get me started on About me's and passions, i have seen everything from
Looks no less than a Movie star to Passionate about making girlfriends.

Hmmm I could do this forever, visiting profiles i mean not writing ;-)

Well the album selection is exemplary.
you may want to eventually remove all that personal info.

Well my profile says exactly what i want it to say thats nothing, not comfortable broadcasting info on Orkut.

The blog is a different thing altogether anyone who bothers to read through so much stuff must be above board.

Right now there is someone writing a blog about some random guy going through their Orkut profiles for no apparent reason.
