Very very true. Orkun was HUGE in Brazil. I had immigrated to Australia when it became popular and no one in Aus had heard of it, Facebook started surfacing a least 18 months later and for a time I had Brazilian friends on Orkut and everybody else on Facebook. What convinced most of my Brazilian friends to switch was the ability to tag people in photos and poke people. Yep, poking was really important.
