Any Orkut members out there?

Orkut, as far as I know, is one of those "six degrees of separation" systems run by Google. But I'm one of the great unwashed, so I could be wrong. Like Gmail, you can't sign up for Orkut. You have to be invited. And I'm curious - if the app is anywhere near as good as Gmail, it's worth checking out. So if anybody who reads this site is a member of Orkut, I would appreciate an invitation. And is there a Domino bloggers Orkut community? If not, should there be?

1 - Invite should be on it's way...

2 - I'm in Orkut. Although I have a lot more contacts in LinkedIn, I think that establishing a Domino bloggers network in Orkut would be cool.

3 - invitation sent...

4 - Cool!

Thanks, guys. I've been playing with Orkut for a couple of hours, and I like it.

Rich, I've created a Domino Bloggers community. So feel free to join if you like. I've also invited a bunch of our fellow Domino bloggers to join Orkut. So maybe we can get some critical mass going. If they were already in my address book, I added them - if not, I didn't go hit all the blogs and grab contact information - so I invited about 15 Domino bloggers, out of 100 or so that I know of. But if everybody invited a couple more, well, that'd be the whole point of Orkut, wouldn't it? Heh...

PS Tom, I have no idea why, but your invite didn't show up in my inbox - it could be a yahoo thing, I guess. I just found out our mail admin at work drops all yahoo messages (and hotmail) without any response. Maybe yahoo is dumping Orkut invitations (they're definitely blocking Gmail invitations)?

5 - I have sent a number of GMail invites to Yahoo email addresses, and every one of the folks have received and used the invite with no problem. I've sent about 15 invites, and 5 or so were to Yahoo accounts. Maybe the good folks at Yahoo just recently started blocking the invites, or maybe they end up in the Bulk folder and folks don't look there.

6 - btw, Rob, <sniff, sniff>, I'm feeling left out (although I hang in the left camp anyway, so that's OK). If you can, please send me one of them new-fangled Orkut invites. I'd like to check it out.


7 - Already sent, Joe. Login to your Gmail account and you should have it. Let me know if it isn't there, and I'll resend.

btw, a friend of mine tested the Yahoo/Gmail blockage thing, and he said the message went into the bulk folder. So I'm sure that's what's happening to the rest of them as well.
