Q:- Who created Orkut?
-> Orkut Büyükkökten...
Most of us Know what orkut is. But to start with it is a social networking service owned and operated by google. The service is dedicated to make relationships and increase human network.
A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident... but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list.
This guy grew up and became IT technical architect in his late 20's, achievement in itself!! He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his girlfriend through the web...
Things went as planned... and he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!!
It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a word with this guy and took over this application. This Software made a whopping 1 billion dollars profit in its first year, which we today know as ORKUT. Named after Orkut Büyükkökten, a Google employee...
Orkut was launched on January 22, 2004 by Google as independent project of
Orkut Büyükkökten, a Turkish software engineer. The community membership was originally by invitation only. At first year, United States had the largest user base. Brazilians began adopting
and inviting more friends, in a viral driven by the blogosphere.
Soon after, Brazil surpassed U.S. in number of users and orkut started becoming heavily popular in Brazil. Americans then started leaving the service and switching to other similar sites such as MySpace and Friendster. This phenomenon was covered by the English blogosphere with some criticism towards Brazilians because they communicate among themselves using their native language Portuguese and not English. In 2007 orkut began attracting large amount of Indians who were not intimidated by the number of Brazilians on the site.Though orkut is less popular in United States than facebook and myspace but it is most visited in Brazil and India.
As of May 2009, 49.83% of Orkut's users are from Brazil, followed by India with 17.51%.
Originally hosted in California, in August 2008 Google announced that Orkut will be fully managed and operated in Brazil, by Google Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte.
This was decided due to the large Brazilian user...
