To all my dear “Orkut Friends”,

I really appreciate all the new year’s wishes that ya’ll have left so thoughtfully. I was especially touched with how personalized each message was. In this age of mass emailing and SPAM, you all have really moved me with your thoughtful scraps. And that too on Orkut! A public forum bordering on voyeurism used by bored-out-of-their-skull people wanting nothing better than to read other people’s scrap books all day. What a great place to wish me a happy new year! Thank you. Thank you so much.

In fact, I’m so impressed with these messages, that I’m going to post one here that particularly touched my heart.

Wishng U a Very Happy New Year!!!?!?!!!?! 2008!!!! Woo Hoo! U are da gr8!!!!!!!
2007 sks!!! 2008 ya da blst!!! Happy NEW Year!!!!!!

And I’m even more impressed with the tools you have used! Pasting some random javascript into your browser while logged into Orkut? Never mind that most virus and trojans use this technique to steal your data and lock your account. Getting your account hacked is a small price to pay for posting bulk new year wishes. Well done!

Seeing as to how popular this technique has become, I have created an orkut script of my own to help you with your online popularity contests. The script goes and scraps all your friends with this message:

“Hello! My psychiatrist says I have low self esteem, and to increase my confidence, I please request all of you to call me and tell me how much you hated watching Saawariya. Please talk for atleast 20 minutes, so that my inner self can listen carefully. I can’t wait to hear all of you complain about the worst movie of the year. It’ll make my day!”

I’m sure all of you will take up this offer.

Thank you once again,
Aditya
