Everybody is addicted to these sites nowadays. Actually the peak might have been this time last year. I have known people who used to access Orkut, Facebook and the likes at every given opportunity. These things have become so popular that they are used in the verb form these days. It pains me to hear something like "Dude, I haven't been orkutting at all these days man!" or something to that effect. And when things like this become so popular, the critics start opening their mouths and say a certain aspect sucks about Orkut, and something else about Facebook, and so on. Then there are the people who can't have a life without these things, people who think their love lives can become better through these websites, Shocking? there have actually been success cases! I personally feel these sites are not the worst things to have happened. To be frank, it actually helps you keep in touch with people you normally wouldn't or couldn't have. Funny thing is that these sites are never happy with the way they are. For example, Orkut was a big hit when it started, but slowly Facebook started catching up and Orkut tried to become like Facebook with all sorts of nonsense applications. Now it's Facebook's turn to become simple like Orkut was. This is some sort of a cycle. People will never be pleased with these sites, yet they provide what people need, which is why these sites are the million dollar companies that they are.
