Orkut's competitor

Wallop, Product of microsoft research.
It's very beatiful.
But it does not have the group feature.

Another one I use that allows you to join, even without an invitation is linkedin.com. It's like creating a group of present and former colleagues. As others add their contacts, your personal network grows.

I haven't used orkut yet, but I'm assuming it's the same type of thing, but for friends...

Wallop is great better than orkut... I was surprised how good it is (especially for a service coming from MS) The interface (in flash) is quite different from orkut and others. A nice feature is you can listen to streaming music shared in your network straight in wallop.

wallop vs orkut

I really don't like Microsoft, but it's product is really cool and think about customer deeply thant any others.

I hope orkut can do better job than wallop and I'm sure it will be.
Just think more about customer, and the usage ability. I think google can do this.

wallop is better than orkut. orkut is just an oversized school project that can't handle the load of users. it's laughable really.

A company as huge as MS can't come up with a product of its own. And it have to use Macromedia's Flash to make a blog site.
