Orkut drew my interest because of they managed to become somewhat of a standard in regards to social widget embedding, how users would authenticate with a widget and the storage of widget state. I had a profile just to test this stuff, but stopped using it when it started to get a bad reputation due to grooming. Last thing I heard was that it was still popular in Brazil, and that's it, but that was already many years ago. I'm not really sure if Orkut could relaunch with that brand. I just assume that it may intend to relaunch because that site is trending on HN, the proper thing to do would have been for Orkut to embed the publication date in that post.
