Comparing Orkut and Google Community

[Pedro]

phpBB, the software used to implement Google Community, is much better than Orkut, and they have many graphic similarities. I mean, Orkut is a bad copy of phpBB.

Here I mention some differences. A + sign indicates Orkut is better. A * indicates phpBB is better.

phpBB=p, Orkut=o.

Orkut Communities page vs. phpBB main page

+Personalized: p=no o=yes, you see only the communities you are a member of
+Order of forums: p=fixed by administration o=last post first
Time of last post: p=yes o=yes
*Author of last post: p=yes o=no
*Number of topics per forum: p=yes o=no
*Number of posts per forum: p=yes o=no
+Number of members per forum: p=no o=yes

Main page of a forum

Last post first p=yes o=yes
Topic author p=yes o=yes
Time of last post: p=yes o=yes
*Author of last post p=yes o=no
Posts per topic p=yes o=yes
Views per post p=yes o=yes
*Users browsing this forum p=yes o=no

So far, phpBB 5, Orkut 3.

Please comment on these or other differences.
