Orkut is the new Friendster-like service, this time from google.

It promises an online meeting place where people can socialize, make new acquaintances and find others who share their interests.

Which sounds like _exactly_ what Livejournal does for me.

I know a few of you have taken a look (thanks for the invites), but I'm just wondering if you can tell me what it can do for me that LJ doesn't...

I was wondering the exact same thing.

Mr. Warren Ellis himself is having trouble with Orkut. He says so in diepunyhumans. Once you get in, they don't let you out.

The search feature seems neat, more as a toy than anything else. It's not fully implemented yet, but it seems like eventually I'll be able to search for bisexual women between the ages of 20-26 who went to the same college as I did, live in a 40-mile radius of me, and are interested in comic books. Not that I'll actually do anything with that information, but it's a more interesting search than one can generally do on LJ.
