Well Satyajit,
I've heard everyone talking that Orkut is indeed about to close due to
the various reasons.I suppose it could be closed in few months though
I have no site reference to substanitiate my post.
Well...Lets see what happens.

Satyajit · 12-16-2006, 01:40 AM

Sorry to say Anirudh,
but your answer is not satisfactory....
i want a more satisfactory answer!!

IamTheKing9 · 12-17-2006, 12:24 AM

Nope, orkut isn't closing down. Its got a huge amount of active users, and there's no reason for it to close down. I've received some emails saying that orkut profiles are being deleted, but that's a hoax as well.

Anirudh Vasudevan · 12-17-2006, 12:37 AM

Yeah even I receive mails which state that
Profiles are being deleted.
Surely thats false.
Satyajit,I told you what i heard was a rumour.
And it could be true or false as well.

IamTheKing9 · 12-17-2006, 12:43 AM

It is false. There's no doubt on that.

andrew247 · 12-17-2006, 03:42 AM

I think he was asking if the Indian government was going to block Orkut.

arun.v · 12-17-2006, 04:17 AM

well,thats what the rumours are,but orkut was on the verge of being banned twice in the past,thats for sure.

andrew247 · 12-17-2006, 05:53 AM
