U didng get the point mate... Copying idea OK... Very one can do that, but coding ur own web site, !! that's every one cant do, so, the news to me isnt that a new web site is there like orkhut.com rather a person without owning a computer, has developed (coded) a service like that...

Well well I agree with ravi_9793 too. Instead of discouraging the boy we must appreciate his initiative and talents. Well thats a nice thing to hear that the site that was developed by so many developers, the same one like that has been developed by only one! Great. I liked that. I liked the person who posted this topic over here.

Thank you.

Gigacore · 03-07-2007, 08:15 AM

wow thats great. commenting is easy but coding is difficult.

guys please appreciate him.

kalpik · 03-07-2007, 08:38 AM

The homepage is enough to keep me away from it

gxsaurav · 03-07-2007, 08:56 AM

Like most of the indians, gr8 software backend, very bad (in looks) software frontend.

deepak.krishnan · 03-07-2007, 09:23 AM

Apart frm the looks, its a good one... good to see such projects frm Indians

Name's bit weirdo

sudhir_mangla · 03-07-2007, 01:04 PM

This site is created in PHP.
In PHP there are already many web site called orkut clone with source code are easily available.
I too can create one more orkut clone by modifying some UI of the free ones.

enticer86 · 03-07-2007, 01:08 PM

No, Orkut started as a one man's effort by a guy working at Google.

enticer86 · 03-07-2007, 01:32 PM

tht was Orkut Buyukkokten
but he was motivated-- searchin fr his gf who ditched him

anniyan · 03-07-2007, 01:34 PM

it was great . Hats off to that geek

23 year old. A boy

din · 03-07-2007, 01:54 PM

That is good. But considering the age, I really expected something better than this.

If the guy is in any other field, we can tell hes really really young, but in software field, 23 yrs means hes not that young.

This site is good but nothing great. I am not discouraging the guy or any Indian, but when the site is launched for public and as it is in newspaper etc, he could have done / modified it better.

Just for example, go to the site, click register, give space bar for all fields, just one space. it allows registration or it takes you through all pages of profile !

Go to compose a message or inbox, nothing is in order or secure.

Come back to his claim - "No one can use slang against anyone through this website and such terms would appear as asterisk. Therefore, women users can safely surf the site sans hesitation," - thats pretty simple and again nothing new.

As I mentioned, this is a good beginning, thats all. May be he will learn more and will bring something better and nice. Good Luck.

I think you haven't heard these names b4

www.sourceforge.net

www.hotscripts.com

+ clones of each popular website is available on net, with source code

all you need to know is how to edit them to work for you.

One more suggestion, stop reading that newspaper,
My god this is a story to publish???????????????

Hell NO.

This is what u call a story

such sites are no big deal. My friends also made such orkut like site in their major project in Engineering. I was also a part of that project though at a small level.
