Why did people stop using 'Orkut' suddenly?

[Ryan]

will Facebook too share the same fate?

[Haydn F]

Because it fails. Facebook is so large, it probably won't ever fail.

[Prometheus]

Facebook. Can't say... some people who are interested in money are going into 'zurker'.

[Prosen]

Facebook has 901 million members i dont think it will fail

[mouli]

IT IS BECAUSE ORKUT IS OLDER THAN FACE BOOK YES FACE BOOK'S FATE IS ALSO GOING TO BE LIKE THAT IF ANY OTHER VOUCHER COMES

[Aj]

People will also stop using Facebook when any other better site comes on net.

[David]

because people start using facebook .

[Amit]

Probably because Facebook provided more features as compared to orkut. Hence people started migrating to facebook. Facebook's wall, notification and managing friends and apps was far better than orkut.
Do you remember there along with orkut there were other social networking sites such as Hi5 etc; which never got clicked so orkut was in demand.

Than facebook entered market and it overtook orkut.

Possibility of facebook's fate as orkut's is very low beacuse facebook has made its mark with its apps and with its acquisition of instagram.
