Message from Orkut Buyukkokten, the social network creator:
“I am an optimist. I believe in the power of connection to change the world. I believe the world is better when we know each other a little more. That’s why I created the world’s first social network as a Stanford graduate student. That’s why I brought orkut.com to so many of you worldwide. And that’s why I’m building something new. See you soon!”
