I drift back again to Orkut, that versatile social networking site that is doing a hell lot more that anyone ever imagined. Move over you 'Friends' and 'Activity Partners'.. Time's now to use this super search tool for finding youself a life partner!
You know what the problem with the MeetyourlifepartnerHERE!.com type sites is? They're too obvious! They're definitely not subtle and no one ever logs on without a very strong ulterior urge. My dad for one, I've heard (he would'nt dare tell me!) has been surfing a lot of such sites recently to search for a suitable suitor for me, but never really met with any success.
Well, if he ever asked me, I'd tell him to atleast do it the right way..'Pore over orkut!' What with the thousands of friends I'm connected to, and the millions more I haven't ever given a hoot about, the possibilities are endless!!
There are scores of advantages I see that orkut has, over traditional shaadikaro sites.. (not that i've ever visited such a site, and NO, shameless as I am, I won't be caught dead looking at one of those in office!)
COnsidering the amount of information available on them, it's not really that bad an idea to consider 'frandship' or more with someone on this forum...
For all those looking at 'making matrimony' on this site, here are some key pointers that may help you sieve out the pebbles from the grain!
- Status: If a person does NOT have a displayed status of (single, committed etc) then he/she is likely to be committed because no one single would call themselves that. This is mainly true for guys!
- Photographs: Girls, if he's put up the face/torso of Brad Pitt or Hrithik as his display pic, he definitely looks like the remotest version of the two. Guys, if a girl looks like Angelina Jolie, she may actually look like her.. but she's a guaranteed weirdo!
- Communities: If you see, 'Pyaar Me Dhoka', 'Lover's Land Vikaspuri', 'I will never forget my first love', 'Gr8 Flirters of Orkut' or 'My Name Starts with R' as a community on someone's page, it may just be a good idea to scram from there.
- 'About Me': Do you see a 'Lovable, cute boy', 'Sweet Punjabi Kudi with naughty mind' or 'I am a mystery??and who solves my mystery is a person who is called friend!!! So be my friend!!! Will you??' I suggest you let the mystery remain.
- Friendship Requests: Aah.. too talked about, I won't dwell on it for too long. But I just wish that you don't entertain too many requests to 'scrape' people or let them 'scrape' you.. might be a tad painful!
- Testimonials give a lot away as well, not just about the person its for, but also about the person who sent it. Take a look at this specimen..

Am still in a state of shock.
Thank god I'm writing, else I would've been speechless!
All in all I can say one thing, maybe you won't really find your Prince Charming or Princess Fiona in the millions of people crammed on this network.. but you'll sure find a lot many more who'll definitely be worthy of a blog post if nothing else! :)

Hey Priyanka.
This is ROhit from FAS this link was sent to me by nikita.... quite well written and makes me want to change so many things on my orkut profile ..:-)
the poem was superb.
thanks
very nice blog and very good posting as well.
Hey Priyanka,
You make a very strong point of time being wasted on those shaadikarosites.com. And I guess the power of social networking sites can be very effectively tapped for Indian style marriages. You can know so many things about a person on Orkut that you can really get away from calling ur distant relatives to figure out the family or about the person. Wonder if there is a easier way of integration between shaadi and orkut sites.
Great post though.
hi everybody

The company delivers one specific [url=http://muachungdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]gia re hom nay[/url] for every single operating day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance agreement utilizing ThePoint's method: if a specified sum of men and women sign up for the provide, then the offer gets offered to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not fulfilled, no one gets the supply that day. This reduces threat for suppliers, who can deal with the coupon codes as volume discount costs as nicely as revenue promotion devices. Groupon helps make income by keeping around 50 % the funds the purchaser pays for the coupon.
For instance, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be obtained by the client for $forty by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $forty. That is, the retailer provides a therapeutic massage valued at $80 and will get about $20 from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 really value of property portray businesses is obtained by the client for $fifty via Groupon, then the organization will get $25 and Groupon retains $20 5. The consumer receives the therapeutic massage, or the house painting services, in these examples, from the retailer for which they to begin with compensated $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are particular companies to which Groupon to get started with did not provide its answers, like capturing ranges and strip golfing equipment however, shooting ranges have been showcased on Groupon.
As opposed to categorised advertising and marketing, the service service provider does not shell out any upfront price to get portion: Groupon collects specific specifics from well prepared clients and then contacts only people customers, mainly by day-to-day electronic mail, who may possibly probably be intrigued in a distinct merchandise or assistance.
Groupon employs a massive variety of copywriters who draft descriptions for the deals showcased by e mail and on the internet site. Groupon's marketing textual content material for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing element to the recognition of the internet website, that includes a unique mix of complete fact-checking and witty humor.
Owing to Groupon's marketplace area getting mainly composed of female consumers, the offers are regularly concentrated on the overall health, health and physical fitness and splendor marketplaces.
There are potential problems with the business model. For case in stage, a rewarding deal could quickly swamp a minor firm with as properly many customers, jeopardizing a chance that clients will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be sufficient resolution to fulfill the want. Gap, a massive attire retailer, was in a position to deal with 445,000 coupons in a countrywide offer (even even though it seasoned server problems at a one degree), but a a lot more compact business could increase to be abruptly flooded with clients. One espresso shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in consumers for a few months, when it offered shut to one particular,000 Groupons on the a solitary working day it was provided, according to a single report. In response to similar problems, Groupon officials problem that 'deal' subscriptions ought to be capped in progress to a affordable selection.
