You stole my yogurt
Dear orkut.com users:
Wow.
The response to orkut.com has been phenomenal and I’ve been learning a lot about what people like and expect from a service like this. Thanks for all your feedback so far!
Based on your suggestions, I’m taking orkut.com back to the lab for some fine-tuning and improvements. It will likely take a few days to finish them. None of your data will be lost and I should have some nice surprises for you when I bring it back online. I’ll email you when it’s ready and running again.
