guslWhat did orkut ever do for you?
Through it, I found![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bondage_and_tea, but that's it. I've used it for more than a year, and I'm the moderator of a community with 17k people.
How do you approach someone you'd like to get to know on Orkut?
Often I don't have anything to say to someone, except "you seem interesting", which is, of course, boring. I'm sure we'd have enough to talk about IRL, though. Maybe I should invite them for a hike rightaway?
I think orkut is a great "yearbook" sort of thing, with tons of interesting people in it (and almost every Brazilian I know), but I just don't see the "networking" thing happening: I, at least, tend to just browse silently, far and wide. I'm a geek voyeur (in both senses).
At the moment, I'm looking for an interesting IT job. Can my orkut friends help? If so, should I send one of those mass messages? I'm not sure, but I think most people stopped reading their Orkut messages when they started getting friend-of-friend spam.
