Orkut is not as popular as other networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, but it is one of the most visited sites in India and Brazil with more than a 100 million active users.
Originally, joining Orkut was by invitation only so that a network of trusted people could develop and grow. Although it originated in Brazil there were soon members all over the world, particularly in the United States because Brazilians were asking the people that they knew in these places to join.
As Orkut became more and popular in Brazil, the number of Americans who were members began to decline because of the language barriers. In 2007, India seemed to discover Orkut and more and more then joined, completely undeterred by any language issues.
It is easy to see how it has grown if we look at the population figures of the site in 2004 when it was created: Brazil - 5.16 per cent, USA - 51.36 per cent; in 2011 the figures are a complete reversal with, Brazil - 55.2 per cent, USA - 1.5 per cent.
Today, Orkut is proving itself to be very popular in another country that is as diverse from Brazil as India is: Estonia, with membership figures rising all the time as it has become the most used social networking site in that country.
