Orkut Buyukkokten creater of Orkut launches new social network ‘Hello’
Orkut, the social networking service Google launched back in 2004, was a huge hit in Brazil, India and a few other countries and had become a community for over 300 million people. On September 30, 2014, it was decided by google to officially shut down Orkut.
Orkut buyyukkokten however did not give up and launched a new social network called ‘Hello’. He wrote a message on orkut.com welcoming people to use hello.com in English, Turkish, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Here is what he says on hello application –
“hello is the first social network built on loves, not likes. I designed hello to help you connect with people who share your passions.
hello connects us all. Think about it: you can say "hello" in any language and people will understand. "Hello" is probably the most widely spoken word in the world after "Okay." Aló, halo, ʾāllo, alô, hallo, alló, hello. Fear and hatred have no place when you make such a simple and friendly gesture to someone else. So come join me, and make some new friends. Say hello, and love your world.”
As of now, hello.com appears to exist as an app for Apple and Android users, but it's unavailable in India.
