The True Story….
A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident….
but the gal’s name nowhere appeared in the dead list. This guy grew up n became IT technical architect in his late 20’s, achievemnt in itself!!. He hired devlopers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his gf through the web…Things went as planned…n he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!! It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a word with this guy n took over this application, This Software made a whopping 1 billion dolar profit in its first year, which we today know as ORKUT.
The guy’s name is ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN. Yes its named after him only. Today he is paid a hefty sum by Google for the things we do like scrapping, Forum Posting etc.,
He is expected to b the richest person by 2009.
ORKUT BUYUKKOTEN today has 13 assistants to monitor his scrapbook & 8 to monitor his friends-list. He gets around 20,000 friend-requests a day……. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut_B%C3%BCy%C3%BCkk%C3%B6kten
