Orkut invites and online communities
It seems that the online community word is growing like a weed. (Pardon the lame analogy there.)
So here's what I thank of the ones I've got into so far.
Friendster: nice and easy to use. The invite function makes it easy to invite your friends. But that's for people that you already know. If your looking to meet new people your going to be looking through about 1,000,000 or so. But it is free.
Whizspark: This is a small one, but I like it because it's small. To me, meeting NEW folks is what the net is about and this place makes it easy to do just that. It does require some tinkering with to learn the ends and outs. But you can post a link on your site to have messages sent directly from there to you. Nice! I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Two others that I haven't been able to get into yet or
1.) Microsoft's Wallop. Which is part of their Social Computing Group project. It's invites only, and will, knowing Microsoft, cost you a little bit for full access.
2.) Google's Orkut at Orkut.com. I'm a google head, OK! I want this one as bad as I wanted gmail, but can't get my hands on an invite as of yet. It's not easy! They are extremely hard to come by, more so than a gmail invites. But I have heard good things about it. Hopefully I'll be able to give a little heads up on what it's like here in the near future. I'm not giving up until I get an invite.
