What is the revenue model of ORKUT?

Answer 1

Found some baffling information on net about Orkut's earnings:

Orkut Buyukkokten(the creator of Orkut) gets $12 when every person registers to this website.

He also gets $10 when you add somebody as a friend.

He gets $8 when your friend's friend adds you as a friend & gets $6 if anybody adds you as a friend in the resulting chain.

He gets $5 when you scrap somebody & $4 when somebody scraps you.

He also gets $200 for each photograph you upload on Orkut.

He gets $2.5 when you add your friend in the crush-list or in the hot-list.

He gets $2 when you become somebody's fan.

He gets $1.5 when somebody else becomes your fan.

He even gets $1 every time you logout of Orkut.

He gets $0.5 every time you just change your profile-photograph.

He also gets $0.5 every time you read your friend's scrap-book & $0.5 every time you view your friend's friend-list.

Many Global Financial Consultants think this person might become the richest-person in the world by the end of 2009.

Finally, this is the best fact. This person has 13 assistants to monitor his scrapbook & 8 assistants to monitor his friends-list. He gets around 20,000 friend-requests a day & about 85,000 scraps a day.
