Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pleonastic I am now a member of orkut, using the name stef maruch.

It has a Usenet community. That is...just wrong.

my favourite bit was how they all immediately bitched about the interface, until somebody wisely said "why in the world are we still discussing this here? lets go to a newsgroup." and off they went.

what strikes me as totally weird is that it has a community each for LJ support and LJ abuse members. say what?

my theory is that a lot of people are simply using communities as they would use interest keywords on LJ -- to indicate conveniently what all they're interested in. since the interface does in fact suck, that's not a bad subversion.
