According to Scott Allen, Orkut has taken it upon themselves to reinvite friends who I originally invited but did not join for one reason or another. I'm posting this mostly because I hope those people will come here first before asking me about it, since many of them declined. It's very embarassing because most declined to me personally via email. So how dare Orkut assume to reinvite them- in MY name no less?

This is another reason why I find Orkut to be behind the times and a cheesy, non-useful social network. It's all about "collecting" friends and getting people to rate you high. It's like a high school click. But what do you expect from a social network who takes its name from the founder of it. Frankly, I expect a lot more from the team behind Google - moreso after the announcement of their 2.7bn IPO this week. I've recently purchased "Google Hacks" and think maybe Google should stick to Search Engines. Or at least listen to why people like the successful sites in the multitude of YASNs out there.
