Facebook Vs Orkut

Now let us discuss about the social networking sites. Facebook and Orkut are the main social networking sites in India. But nowadays Facebook wipes out orkut from the list in india. Many Indian Orkut users are transferred to facebook, even though it is much difficult to handle than Orkut
Orkut has tried many times to carry over Facebook by introducing 'Like' button, 'scrap all' etc. but they failed to utilise these facilities into the users. Another problem that I analyzed is that the 'Invisible' option in the chat box. It affects very badly on a user's tendency to chat and communicate with his/her friend. If there is an 'Invisible' option, then everyone will try to hide from his/her friends and hence it reduces communication. And also there is a wide range of applications in Facebook like Farmville, Top Ten Friends Photos, etc. Facebook allow group chatting and gruop discussions. In Facebook we can record a video by using a webcam and upload it on our profile. These all differ Facebook from Orkut.
But Orkut always have a descent layout than Facebook. Also 'Friend Suggestions' in orkut is very nice. It helps us to find out our friends very easily. Orkut has a very nice 'friend list' and theme selections. Facebook do not allow us to use the stylish fonts as profile name. Another advantage of Orkut is that we can decide which part of the profile is visible to the different types of users (like only friends, anyone in Orkut) and also we can block users, report spam, and repost abuse in Orkut.
Anyway Facebook Vs Orkut battle still going on India.
