Hmmm. Orkut was a 20% project that blew up, but as friends at Google told me, was never created/properly engineered for the growth it experienced (after a while mainly in South America and India). I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Just looking back at my 2006/2007 email, Orkut was one big mountain of spam and 30% fake profiles.
