Shockingly, i see a majority of orkut users believing something that is highly impractical and logic less. For instance, i was chatting with a ‘highly educated’ guy and we were discussing something relating orkut. Suddenly he threw up a comment on Orkut Buyukkokten, the creator of orkut. I was a little bit shocked first and then laughed at his comment.
What was the comment?
He gets $200 for each photograph you upload on Orkut
This person might become the richest-person in the world by the end of 2009.
I cleared his misconception at that point of time. But i was astonished to analyze that this hoax had a bigger audienceI surfed around to find some more funny stuff about orkut

The last point is hilarious
Okay..we had quite a bit of fun, now it’s time for the real thing. All these points are incorrect and there is no as-such practice. If you wish to know more on how Google handles take overs and it’s baby companies, i will highly recommend you to read - The Google Story by David A. Vise
Orkut Buyukkokten may not become the richest my 2009 but he for sure is getting married to his boyfriend. So from now on, laugh at such incorrect chain emails and clear misconceptions of your friends too :)
