"Another reason is that some of us have friends and relatives abroad who are most likely users of Facebook so we have no option but to use FB in order to stay connected.
Apart from that, FB looks way cooler than the childish brightly colored shit that is Orkut.
One more thing, part of the reason I left Orkut was that it was too crowded by people I didn't give a shit about. And I'm sure I'll be bored with FB pretty soon as well.
(Actually Blogger is not letting me post the comment there.)"
