It Takes One To Know One

Gotta love the psychology behind this one – orkut.com is one of those new ‘social networking’ sites which promises to make it easy to make and keep friends – with one notable exception.

What a great marketing ploy. What better way to get people to start clamouring to get into your community than by quietly whispering ‘Beg Me’ ?
