From The 'Wouldn't It Be Great' Files

Woudln't it be great if Orkut and Plaxo teamed up, so my Orkut friends automagically showed up in my Outlook contacts? That would be frickin swell. Would save me a buttload of time updating my Outlook contacts from my Orkut profile.

  • there has been some low rumbling about trying to get a centralized area for all "social software", but your post made me realize that a better option might be an open P2P-type collection of users except that instead of the data being stored on the clients, the data could be stored on the servers.



    I join Friendster, Friendster takes my info, but the other social networks (orkut, myspace, etc, etc) would access that via a p2p-type process.



    hmmm....



  • So I really have to wait for an invitation to join Orkut? What is this thing called Orkut?

  • Some combination of these with some added features may be compelling. Right now, Orkut doesn't really offer me much beyond some contact information anyway. Might as well download that into Outlook.
