Orkut, really? It was all the rage in Brazil (and apparently, India) up until some time ago. Originally hosted in California, in August 2008 Google announced that Orkut would be fully managed and operated in Brazil, by Google Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte. This was decided due to the large Brazilian user base and growth of legal issues.
I honestly believe that many people here are switching to FB because of The Social Network.

I was one of the very early users of Orkut because a friend worked on the project. It was a pretty big deal when it was first announced. Yeah, for one reason or another, Orkut was huge in Brazil. It was an on-going joke that one of the requirements for Orkut was to be fluent in Portuguese.
