Sorry to say that the quality of articles being pulished by rediff.com are becoming inferior day by day. I for one used to like it a lot when it came online several years back. But now I just visit this site by habit but do not enjoy browsing it as much as did it !! It's a big shame.
I don't understand this hue and cry over privacy of a PUBLIC profile. If you want privacy, do not put whatever you want private on the public profile (eg, phone number, etc.). In fact, orkut enables you to have the phone number, etc, viewable only by your friends / friends of friends / everyone / only you. So, what's the fuss? As far as the swindleds are concerned, they are the biggest fools. One must realise that orkut is not meant for financial deals. This is not a business networking site but a social one rather. So, all those falling for financial baits are fools. . One aspect of concern I do share is that of the scrapbook. Scrappers forget that the scrapbook is PUBLIC and often write a lot of things that only the two share. THIS is again a foolish move by scrap-writers and i don't think orkut can be blamed for this. Also, you can ignore profiles who you don't want approaching you.
In order to avoid problems of being harassed,one must not make everything on his/her profile public.There are options given on such websites which helps you in preventing your personal details to be seen to a stranger.Try not to give email ids/phone nos on scraps which is completely unsafe.Do not add friends whom u dont know in ur profile,this will help not to give access to ur email ids or personal details to a stranger which you have kept for viewing only to your friends.Last but not least, b careful in whatever u do on such sites.....
Online harrassment is common to both guys and girls. So many cases in which guys experienced complete deception ; and some in which girls were victims. Online relations are never perfect.
i m using facebook and i can say that it is next to impossible to see other's profile on facebook.. it only allows to arite a msg to that person even not allows to visit his/her profile
Orkut has teiific features wherein the User can decide who all can view our profile, (friends/friends of friends/all) In that case we can always restrict that strangers cannot visit our profiel and cannot write to us.
V know that u r envious about google and their growth. SO u people,being incompetent will try ro indukge in cheap tactics like dese to blame google.
