Orkut
On Call For Help they mentioned Orkut.com (among others) as a neat networking site, an alternative to Friendster, which I already determined I’m not happy with.
I go to join and find out it’s Invite Only. You’d think they’d mention that on the segment. If they did, I missed it and I watched that segment twice. So, I think the whole thing is stupid, it’s like a big online clique and I left that shit back in high school. I’d LIKE to join ANYWAY because I’m curious about it and would like to check it out. But I wish they’d make it more open.
UPDATE: I use this address for sites like Orkut:

UPDATE: Ok, I got invited (thank you!) 
… and have joined Orkut and I also signed up w/ BlogPod.com
