I want to thank all my friends and other unknown people who have forwarded chain letters to me in past few years. They helped me in increasing my general awareness about what is happening in around the globe. But they have changed me a lot. Because of all your’s kindness:

• I stopped drinking Coca-Cola after I found out that it’s good only for removing toilet stains.
• I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.
• My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid vacation to Disneyland .
• I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made, expecting the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me (when I participated in their special-mail program) would arrive soon.
• People put me in spam list when I mailed them hundreds times about “orkut is deleting profiles”, “orkut is ranking profiles” and “orkut will give me $1 for forwarding this message”.
• I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl! that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she’s been 7 since 1993…)

Orkut: A Social Community, So well-known that even a kid studying in 4th standard know about it and may have his profile there too. It’s another feather in Google’s(synonym of success) hat, who is famous for creating end user centric, utmost quality applications. But are they always best??, are there products are PERFECT with no further scope of improvement??, Does google has became the God of this internet Era??
May be !! and perhaps Yes, but my opinion is that ‘Nobody can make a perfect thing’. Attaining Perfectionism is a never ending process not a state(which can be achieved). So Google wake up. Don’t sleep like rabbit as tortoise(Microsoft) is always following you. As you will take a nap, tortoise will left you behind. personally I like google and want them to go up and up. So my dear “google deva”, here are some suggestions which I found regarding the ‘Orkut’.

1. Content(specially photos) Privacy Protection. Like User may be having two albums, one containing private data and other containing general pics for public. He should be able to apply the protection on individual album, if needed.
2. Volunteerly account suspension. Very often users delete their profile after feding up from orkut or if anyone want to be reserved now onwards. But soon after they realize, what big mistake they have made. And more than 50% of the user who deleted their profiles make the new profile again with in few months. So why should not be there is an option of account suspension so that he can reactivate the things whenever he want.
3. Send scrap to all (many). Everyone’s scrap book is cluttered up with send scrap to all third party scripts, many people are using them and its need of everybody. So it would be better if google himself introduce this feature. though it includes the risk of increase in scrap traffic and may degrade the performance, but that shouldn’t Google worried about, After all he is the champ.

hehhehehehe dekha kya fandooo ideas hai… these all useless things are result of ‘faltoo time’ which I got during lunch break or tea gupshup. So don’t take it seriously and also dont yell over me for wasting your time. I have wasted mine twice, firstly thinking all this and then writing it here. So No blame on me please..!!

Have a nice day my dear!!
