Without developing the orkut community interface what makes you think of starting something new like orkut groups? well, I am nowhere to ask you like that but It makes me and many of orkut users sad to see the declining edge of orkut today. You should believe in the fact that the mass need strong relations, continuous engagements, community building and resourceful content generating more than scrapping hey I want to make friendship with you and sharing photos of bollywood hotties. Since 2004 till now I think Indian internet users are mature enough to accept something like twitter, facebook and foursquare but orkut is still far behind it. Last, why you feel threat with anyone, you are Google the god of internet, you are the one who made gmail buzz a new age social networking. But why you are detaching orkut with it? As a loyal orkut user here is my only friendly advice : Save orkut communities, people are migrating on facebook so give some option to transfer their community from orkut to facebook. Yes I sound foolish but for Google everything is possible :) Mr Rahul Kulkarni,
