Comments on: Watch out Orkut – PM Manmohan Singh is on Facebook (and so are other celebrities) http://www.pluggd.in/manmohan-singh-on-facebook-297/ We Heart Startups!

Posting something on FB is just too public for me! I mean, even friends of friends get to know when you tag someone in a photo!! And the FB timeline is filled with stupid quizzes and games by people, half of whom I don't even know, and are just connected to me coz of the stupid friend finder application! Yes, Google needs to work harder to build up Orkut's brand image, or this awesome social network will lose out to FB! Ahh.. sorry about the unleash.. but that felt good :) Hate the way everyone is going ga-ga over fb these days! And about the err.. story, its most probably some fake profile, since the PM can't really be expected to use FB, when people from his party are ready to leash out on Shashi Tharoor for his twitter updates. PS: Shashi Tharoor seems to be the only net savvy minister here. And damn good he is at that! Even though most of my friends are on both orkut and Facebook, I still prefer Orkut to connect with them.

Maybe PMO is doing that... But for credibility I think, Indian govt portal should tell out who are the real social network profiles of government officials (if anyone is on there).... Orkut is surely losing its presence in India... People from Tier 1 cities are on Facebook already.... but I think, still small towns and not so computer savvy people are using Orkut because it looks simple for them to use compared to facebook... But if google won't act fast, then orkut will lose out in India I doubt if PM himself is using facebook… Maybe PMO is doing that… But for credibility I think, Indian govt portal should tell out who are the real social network profiles of government officials (if anyone is on there)….
