It really depends from where you look at social networking site, if Orkut does not contain your friends or most of the canada or most of states it does not mean it "has failed". There are zillions of brasilienos in orkut, and also (now speaking from my point of view) most of the estonians online, are in Orkut. It depends where the circle started, which group gets used to some particular social networking site and why they afterwards never need to change or move or have twenty different accounts with different social networking sites. It applies to you aswerll, if you feel comfy in friendster, you really don't need to go to orkut, as all your friends are already present. so who cares about friendster anyway :) This goes actually also to your previous Orkut bashing (the “new UI – who cares?” entry).

Add someone as a contact? It always seems to take me four clicks. Switch over to Google Docs? Um, I'll get back to you. Check another e-mail without losing the message I'm writing? No problem. More clicks, not always of the intuitive kind. I have issues with Google Reader, but they're more around performance and resource-sucking than intuitiveness. It works how I'd like it to work, and it's easy to fiddle with. Mark: When I use Gmail, I have to bend my head a bit to find the things I want to use. Add someone as a contact?
