orkut - About

 

[marquais_v]

orkut is an online community designed to help people connect, build relationships and create engaging communities around common interests. Since its inception in 2004, orkut has seen incredible growth around the world; we often hear users tell us how much orkut has come to mean in their lives (and if you're one of them, we encourage you to share your own story).

We love orkut just as much as you do, and we want to keep it fun and clean - or, as we like to call it, beautiful. Some of the attention orkut has received in the Brazilian media recently has given the impression that our community is rife with illegal activity and discontented users. Any active orkut user realizes that this characterization is simply false, that our site's very success has always been driven by our members' ability to create the engaging content and communities which comprise the bulk of orkut's population and content. In fact, orkut's top 50 communities, with more than 37 million total members and nearly 1.3 million daily visitors, have no illegal content whatsoever.

Just as in the offline world, however, there will always be content that some people find offensive or inappropriate. We apologize if we've given the impression that illegal or otherwise offensive content on orkut isn't an important issue to us. We agree that Google should have put more effort into communicating our thoughts and plans to our users as these issues arose. We know that we still have more work to do to minimize negative interactions on orkut and preserve the safe, vibrant and valuable community that is enjoyed today by the vast majority of our users. In this note, we want to let you know how we plan to achieve those goals - and what you can do to help.
