Even though I knew about Orkut and various other social networking sites, I refrained from joining one. One, I do not socialize much, two, the image about social networking sites is also not too good considering the kind of stuff that is available in these sites. The other thing is I am not used to the kind of language used in social networking sites, chatting sites etc. Sometimes, I just can't understand what the hell they are saying. Clear signs that I do not belong to the new Y generation.
However, I gave it a try. I was surprised to find the amount of people who are using Orkut. Quite a few relatives of mine are using Orkut. I did not know that our community is so advanced. May be I have become too old to realise that this is the in-thing now. I also found out that there was an exclusive website for our community, which is amazing. Thanks to Orkut, I am getting to know my Community better.
