Orkut was launched in January 2004 by the search company Google, the brainchild of Orkut Orkut Buyukkokten, a Turkish software engineer, developed it as an independent project while working at Google. In late June 2004, Affinity Engines filed suit against Google, claiming that Orkut Büyükkökten and Google based Orkut on inCircle code.
Orkut Buyukkokten is the founder of orkut..There is a story as how & why he started Orkut.Dont know how far it's true..but yes,it's interesting.
Orkut Buyukkokten had a crush in school when he was a kid.That gal was in his class. Later when they moved to high schools,he lost her.This separation only made Orkut Buyukkokten crazy & he started searching for her. He started Orkut just with the hope that he'll find his 10yrs old crush someday. A very close friend of his was the 2nd person to join in...& the chain grew longer & longer as we see Orkut today.
At the beginning,it was not under google. It's only in mid 2004 that it was accepted by google....
