How orkut helped me to join in this university:

I joined in the community ULL-2008 batch, then in community of ULL which consisted of all the existing members in ULL.I posted queries about the university and they were answered by the seniors.Clarified our doubts with them.Then came to know the students who are going to join for the same class schedule.Had a get together,met them and we all planned our travelling.We came together.Even we got our rooming before coming here.Friends who Reached here earlier helped us.

Even we can do all these with the help of mail.But Uploading photos and all cant be done.Orkut is not as best as FACEBOOK.It even doenst contain so many applications as Facebook.Orkut is in its developing stage but its helpful to peope like us in so many ways.
CONCLUSION:
MISSION OF ORKUT:
To help us create a closer, more intimate network of friends. They hope to put us on the path to social bliss soon.
