Now that Facebook is in Japanese however, I think Mixi will be given a run for its money. Not sure how they are handling the threat.

IMO, i dont find FB sticky enough (maybe I am too old for them?) - But yeah, I do agree that Orkut provides easy sneek peak/masala stuff on your friends than FB - and most of the apps may not sound great for Indian users.

Orkut gave users a way to pry around and read up on other users profiles, leave comments, join communities, etc. Orkut users started building a social ranking on how many friends/scraps they got. On the other hand, Facebook is more closed, invite-only network. I am sure Orkut users in India are equally aware of Facebook, its just that Facebook doesnt offer them the self-gratification that Orkut does. My feeling is that unless there is a killer Facebook-app thats India oriented (matrimony, bollywood, etc) FB wont get much traction. I think the clientele for Orkut and Facebook are quite different.
