Orkutting - Its Different!

Remember that Maggi Hot and Sweet Tomato Sauce ad, featuring Javed Jaffery and Pankaj Kapoor, with its instant hit tag line "Its Different!"

One of my best-est hobby happens to be Orkutting, in fact it rates a close second to Googling. Orkut is fun even though the fact that it gets the most number of hits on its Error page. (Error Page? That Omnipresent Bad Server - No Donuts for you page.) And checking People's Profile (if they have a real image posted) is even more fun.

Go to Orkut and they will dazzle you by "You are connected to 4699212 people through 57 friends." 57 friends - 4699212 people. Bahut Na Insaafi hai re! And you would waste your next 25-30 minutes to seeing some of these 4699212 people. Its Different Mega timepass. In fact it would rate only second to Googling in time pass. Speaking of which it reminds me Blogging at BlogSpot is the first cousin to both Googling and Orkutting when it comes to Timepass. And mother of all ironies, all the sites are owned by Google! (As if you didn't know huh.)

To conclude - Google has sprung up an empire for themselves because people like us are timepassing their time on Google Flagship Products. (My apologies to those who can kill or martyr for Google!)

But what the Hell is common to Maggi and Orkut?
Nothing! Just remembered the Maggi sauce advert, even though Maggi advert was a good timepass.

Later!

Hmm....Orkutting euphoria is over for me.

And Googling is a winner for me with a good lead.

Well if you consider averages I think its the favourite for everyone :)

Just thinking out loud! Dont you think Yahoo and MSN have started coming up with more relevant results over the past 6 months or so. Google might have to do some catchup.
