Ted Leung on the air: Open Source, Java, Python, and ...
I like the user created tribes feature, which is very similar to Tribes -- there don't seem to be the listings, but the listings never really worked much for me. The profiles are asking for a lot of information, but a lot of it is irrelevant to me because I'm not interested in dating.
So now that my network is getting exposed to the world, what's the benefit? Will I get messages via Orkut that I don't in other media? I'm already connected to the people in my Orkut friends list -- I'm not in it for the numbers. I might get to meet new people via friends of friends. I'm still not seeing it... I've started hanging out in #joiito, and I've gotten more benefit out of that than Ryze, Tribe, and LinkedIn put together. It seems to me that it's not enough to have a big network. The right network is more important.
