If the people at Google and Orkut put in some work, then this service could be cool, but sadly its not. I hate the UI, I find it quite sickly. Its god damn slow, a big difference from other Google products, and meh ... it needs to be Google'ized.

I think orkut was neither cool nor a rage. But it is definitely increasing in popularity.

I find Orkut very dissapointing.. I think Google is going to be putting more work into it, since they've finally connected it to the Google Accounts.
It's nowhere near being a rage.. everyone is still on Myspace.. and MSN My Spaces (Microsoft is evil) is gaining popularity amongst the teenagers (I'm one myself.. but I wont dare join it)

So, you're keeping "configuration" as your formal name?

Or did you mean to say "formerly known"?

I think Orkut has been improving. There are less bugs and it's faster now.

I've had an orkut account but I was forced to delete it because of a crazy guy who started to write nasty messages to me. I think I took the best decision. I didn't want him to send nasty messages to my friends as well.

This time will be different, though. I want to be anonymous. I had some friends who had some problems with gossip on Orkut. People they barely know sending messages to their friends and lying to make them fight. It's a pity there are people who waste their time to do such a thing.
