Google Should Replace Orkut With Joga!

Hmm...let me rephrase that.

Google should make Orkut like Joga!

I was able to get an invite inside, and I was very impressed with the layout. In Joga, you can change your background to a select number of images and it seems as if Google actually has celebrities within it and lets you know the real ones from the fake.

Also, there are videos on the site (via Google Video's) that are mostly promo's and people seem to be networking each other for---a soccor/football game.

There is also a blog tool within Orkut, although it is pretty basic compared to Blogger but it is an interesting none-the-less.

The only thing it lacks is RSS feeds for forums, but thus far Joga is everything Orkut should be and more. (as you can see your Orkut communities within Joga)

I don't want to fill this forum with a billion requests (as the Admin's may not like it) so if you need an invite check out [link removed] for details. Peace!

Ahem.
You might want to amend your blog to reflect the fact that invitations are no longer necessary to join Joga, and that people can simply sign up.

Thanks for the info! I didn't realize they had opened it up for the masses.

I had to get an invite in order to test it out...thanks for the update (reflected in the blog).

Really? Now, that's pretty funny.
I haven't really looked, because the subject matter has zero interest for me.
I'd be happier if they rolled out a few Orkut-like services that were language-specific.
Hopefully, one of them would be English.
