Like lots of folks, I signed up for Friendster and Orkut accounts back in the day. I didn’t really get it then, and I still don’t really get it now – but that’s not the point of this post.

Orkut has become a nearly daily hassle for me as Orkut “members” add their spam links to my “scrapbook” – the guestbook feature of Orkut.

There is no feature to allow me to turn off the scrapbook, at least as far as I can tell. I regret ever signing up for these sites. I’ve got enough spam in my life without bringing it in from 3rd party sites that don’t give me any benefits.
