Orkut was a free social networking service owned and managed by Google. It was designed to help users discover new friends and maintain existing relationships. It has been followed up by Hello, another social media network built by the same publisher as Orkut.

Signing in to the service was quick and easy. For first time users, registration was required. (This option is available on the home page.)
