Orkuting blues

I have just realized that my orkut community list has increased to 42... and I never subscribed to more than 12 or 15. The funny thing is they are like - salman khan's fan club, teenagers... I have never been salman's fan, how do they know i just liked him in 'jab pyar kisi se hota hai'. I am not a teenager and never susbscribed that group. The list is endless and am still to figure out how it happened.

Childhood days of orkut (read when it started) were very good, you didnt have much things to do, you could see pictures, write scraps and testis... then came videos and javascripts. Those javascripts would bring roses to your screen, though it looked like a pshyco has developed that, it was ok .... tolerable. Gradually roses shifted to monkeys.

A change came with more innovations in javascript, now when you paste a javascript in the address bar, it runs a worm or like a worm. It adds you to bullshit communities, it scraps to your friends (randomly) and you never know you scrapped. It happened with me some days before, I felt very bad and sent a message to everyone.

If you receive a scrap saying - i have changed my id....., you were looking fine....., or combination of javascript i would suggest you not to open or try it.

There were few good changes like the local language that you can use now, much more security, people now block scraps and pics and videos from general public. But what if you just broke up with your girlfriend and she blocked you from orkut and you had all those lovely scraps and photos at her account only!!!
