And for whatever reason, Estonia. No idea how it came to be, but for a period of time before Facebook took over, Orkut was the main social network everybody was using around here.
- Strom 4y agoFacebook didn't accept new user accounts at the time. You have to remember that Facebook was for university e-mails only before September 2006. By that time Orkut was already widespread in Estonia, taking market share quickly from the previous dominator rate.ee, which was a domestic hot-or-not clone that didn't offer discussion opportunities. Orkut was a breath of fresh air compared to rate, because of its wide selection of features.
