orkut.....

Just checked into orkut. The daily fortune told me that I will inherit a lot of money.
Please God, I don't want to inherit a lot of money. It implies that someone is going to die......
Been loafing around orkut. There is this poor girl in M.S. Ramaiah College who has an orkut profile showing nude pictures as well as a community called "....... lovers". The "...." was for her name which I would not like to divuge. You get into the community and there are discussions about how much she charged for various favours.
This is plain harassment!!!! Someone should put a stop to this!
Besides there are these tremendous bores.
You find one profile with a decent looking photo. You check out her profile and you find dozens of frustrated souls asking her to be their "fren"
God!!! Guys get a life! There are better ways of finding a girl.
But girls are no exception to this. A friend of mine has a nice profile and every once in a while he has to turn down friend requests from girls he does not know. It gets rather tiresome. You ask them who they are and they of course don't reply. This poor guy once put his cell number on line. This girl adds him. He wonders about it but accepts. A scrapping game begins. Finally one fine evening when he was really busy, our lady calls and pains him repeatedly. The poor fellow had no clue what hit him when he heard lines like "I am coming over to Bangalore. Don't disappoint me, I thought we had something going." Since he had his parents' phone number also online, he promptly removed all phone numbers from his profile and now only accepts friend requests from people he knows.........
God! This is harassment!
If anyone is reading this....please leave orkut clean and fun!

1.You have the option to flag fake accounts.
Ask you friends to do the same when you identify one.

2. It's identity theft! Stop it!
I had to report a few profiles who were using my pics...
To top it all, there were people out there claiming to "know" me, while all the time they were chatting with some imposter!

3.You can also "report" communities "as Bogus" if you find them distasteful

4. Any online community is very much like real life
There will always be people who are mentally sick, sexual deviants etc..it's always your discretion to do the right thing..

An aesthetic sense should be valued, coz that is what people are losing in the pursuit of cheap thrills
