I really doubt it would be that easy to KO Facebook. Remember Orkut? Google is great at a lot of things, but building online communities is not one of them. Also, as has been pointed out in other discussions: most Facebook users don't care and aren't going to leave unless there's a compelling reason. A lot of their photos are already locked into Facebook -- it's going to take a lot to show them a greener pasture, and I doubt "better privacy" is going to be one of them.
- BoppreH 17y agoOrkut is just not popular in your country. Here in Brazil it wasn't until last year that people started even knowing what Facebook/Myspace is. The social rule around here is Orkut + MSN Messenger. Unfortunately it led to a wave of "@hotmail" emails, but that's another thing.
- derwiki 17y agoI'm not saying Orkut isn't popular anywhere, but by any metric it's not as popular as Facebook is globally.
- BoppreH 17y agoIt's just that your "Remember Orkut?" remark made it sound like it wasn't even around anymore.
