Ah! Thanks for the local perspective. I do realize Orkut was a huge phenomenon in Brazil, but I didn’t realize it was so popular in those other areas as well. I remember reading this article (I don’t know how much truth is in there but it seems plausible enough to me: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/why-brazil-loves-orkut/3082/) that tried to explain some of the reasons why it was so big in Brazil.
I remember when I set up an Orkut fan page for one of my favorite Sega Master System games. Given the Brazilian love for Orkut and the Sega Master System I created the perfect storm. Eventually every post to the group was in Portuguese!
