Farewell Orkut!!;Google to shutdown Orkut in September

   Not long gone have been the days,when we use to post scraps on each others walls.Then came the time of Facebook and Twitter and people became addicted to them and forgot the beloved Orkut.

   Well,Google on Monday said it is shutting down Orkut, its "first foray into social networking," to focus on YouTube, Blogger, and Google+ services that have proven more popular.

"Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to bid Orkut farewell."said the Google engineering director Paul Golgher in a blog post.

The server switches will be pulled out on the 30th of September putting end to a revolution.

Well we all loved to show our scrap and friends count as a matter of pride over others.It was the First Social Networking experience for many of us and would be really hard to say goodbye to this old friend.

Orkut proved particularly popular in Brazil, where two years ago it was eclipsed by social networking powerhouse Facebook.
