Orkut error messages

with 3 comments

You may have seen a lot of errors while hanging out in orkut. But I bet this one is very original:

Not enough storage is available to process this command

A quick search in google will take you to this page from microsoft.

A note to Google guys: Haven’t you been famous for being huge fan of Linux?

Google Messenger

with 58 comments

It’s not too hard to predict next google service: Google Messenger

Maybe it’s just an idea, but even the idea is very cool. And if it ever happens:

  • It will use Orkut for registration and will utilize your Orkut friends list as your contact list.
  • It can also be used as a Google search representative on your desktop. So you can search in google without opening up a browser windows.
  • It can search on your hard disk content, a local search engine.
  • And also a desktop notify tool for your Gmail.

What do you think? Anyone has other ideas?

And remember, you heard it here first.

Alternate Orkuts

Have you tried Orkut? I mean Orcut. No, wait, first give a try to Orkat. Did I mention I have already registered with Orcit?

Google’s superior service which is running on top of IIS and ASP.NET was returning Squid error messages today for half an hour. I guess they use Squid for load balancing and server side caching. What a shame!

My Orkut Journey

without comments

I’ve been playing with Orkut for past couple of days, and I am somehow addicted to it for now. Its way better than Friendster.
The very first interesting thing is that though they are affiliated with google, but they use Microsoft .NET as their platform. The second cool thing is that they are going to integerate into google and since then google will know who you are, who are your friends and what do you search for on the net.
The first good thing about it is that there are many cool people there, including Sebastian, Jeremy, Henk, Ask
