Whoohoo! I finally got an Orkut accout! Hopefully this leads to a Gmail invite. If you know me and would like an invite (sorry if I missed you),let me know.
Update 8/29: Uh…WTF? I tried to log in to my Orkut account today,and I get “login failed:invalid password”. I’m certain I’ve got the right password,checked the caps lock,and even followed the password change procedure without error. Still no dice. I emailed Orkut help and so I’m waiting for a response. I’m really eager to get back on…I’ve got smack to lay down.
Much delayed Update 9/19: Ok,so like a week later,it just fixed itself. No reply from Orkut or anything. It appears tho that this was a wide-spread but not all-inclusive problem,so I forgive them.
