Th whole Orkut thing seems like a project to put "elete" folks togeather, ones who do not rub sholders with "little people".
How can somthing work when you leave out the people who really do contribute.

You signed up for beta test software and expected it to work perfectly? I think that in that case, you're the one asking for trouble. There was a technical problem - not a specifically engineered one - and Orkut was doing its best to deal with it.

Beta test software means it isn't perfect. If you want perfect software, wait til its out of its test phase.

According to the Orkut news page:

Invitation Problems 4/27/2004

We reported on April 1st that a set of mail problems had been fixed. We have now solved an additional set of issues specifically related to invitations. A large number of invitations that we tried to send in the past either were not delivered correctly, or were unusable. We are now resending those invitations. We have attempted to remove the ones for users who did signup with the service, but there will still be some duplicates.

Personally, I got an IM from a friend who was already on Orkut (and was listed as my friend) saying that he'd gotten an invite from me. We had no clue what was going on or that this was happening to other people.

Scott, in the early days of Spoke they also followed this practice. It is why I no longer have a Spoke client on my work station.
