Google officially shut down Orkut.

On 30th September 2014, Google shut down Orkut.

The site became extremely popular in countries like India and Brazil, where people used it to make friends, join communities, and share messages called “scraps.”

Although it was an American product, Orkut left a lasting impact on early social networking and online communities.

On 24 January 2004, Orkut was created by Google engineer Orkut Büyükkökten.
