Orkut b0rkut?

Monday, February 16, 2004

None of the invites I’ve sent from Orkut have reached their recipients. Not one. And yet, other notices from Orkut arrive just fine. Is anyone else having trouble inviting people?

Just got a notice that foo (a hotmail user) had added me to his friends list. And a couple of my friends that I recently added got their invites without any trouble.

I got an invitation from kalyan today. Seems to be working fine.

  Re:
  that was not an invitation. I added you as a friend and what came to you was just the notification
  
  As for new invites, I have a feeling orkut is killing em till they can scale to the vast traffic

hotmail not getting through
From what I've noticed, I haven't gotten any invites through to hotmail addresses.

A couple of friends have noticed that too.

I too haven't still received my invite... appu sent it ages ago.

Same here
The invite I got from ravi didn't make it to my hotmail and yahoo addresses, but did to another id. Maybe it's being treated as spam by these big guns.

U're right
Your invites did not reach me. Not even in yahoo bulk mail!

You sure?
Their privacy policies seem pretty dodgy.
