I feel that best friends, or friends who talk often or those people who want to know each other better should form private groups which no one else knows about, and even if knows, cannot access it. Grupus provides an excellent opportunity in that direction. i feel given the huge amount of users, its simply not feasible even for google to keep a tab on every illegal activity thats going on on Orkut. the problem is that a single bad/evil/malicious user sets up a community and it can then be accessed by anybody and when someones stumbles upon the community, curiosity gets the better of him/her.

They aren't checking over the rest of their system where just as bad, or worse, stuff could be going on. Me neither.

I'm still not convinced that google is doing the right thing though.
