Talk:Orkut Büyükkökten

message: I noticed that though Orkut was born in 1975, this article claims he has been "active" since 1987. Does that mean he was programming when he was 12 years old?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.169.251.116 (talk) 14:00, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

The article should certainly mention that he was one of the founders of Affinity Engines, the creators of the InCircle social networking system. Also Affinity Engines' claims should be mentioned.

message: Just how many times, in how many different ways, does the same uncited content have to be repeated? This needs to be fixed by someone familiar with the subject matter before someone jumps the gun and just deletes it. 71.204.133.75 09:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It is the name of creator, probably you knew it, just wanted to point out. Turkish names don't need to have a meaning (at least in modern Turkish). I checked the dictionary of the Turkish Language Association, it is not listed there. DenizTC 04:41, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: !!!!!Truth Behind Orkut!!!!!!
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, achievement in itself!!.
He hired developers 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 dollars 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. He is expected to b the richest person by 2009.

message: Article includes:
"His research at Stanford focused on Web search and efficient PDA"
The last phrase doesn't make sense.  PDA is an acronym for Personal Digital Assistant, i.e. electronic diary, etc.  The definition of what constitutes an 'efficient' PDA is highly subjective.  
Is it intended to mean, for example, 'efficient use of PDAs', 'efficient manufacture of PDAs', 'efficient design of PDAs', 'efficiencies obtainable by use of PDAs', 'efficient ways of working with PDAs', etc.  
Wikipedia is let down again and again by poorly constructed English, especially so-called 'American English', which seems often to be a euphemism for, 'say what you like, how you like, ignoring grammar and spelling and expect the recipient of your message to be able to interpret it clearly and unambiguously'.  (Sorry to sound 'American-ist', but the standard of language in much American usage (relentlessly sprayed to the world via TV programs and Hollywood) is truly appalling to an educated person, including, of course, an educated American person).  
This is supposed to be some sort of Encyclopedia, after all!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.167.10 (talk) 22:41, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
