Orkut and Feeds
Recently Orkut has been doubling up as feed reader. But the real meat is getting scrap book updates through feeds. It might not make sense to some of you but for a feed junkie like me, it is super stuff1 . I feel one of the prime differences between other leading Social Networking sites and [...]
