DAY OF LAUNCH OF ORKUT AT GOOGLE PARTY TIME :

ORKUT WEBSPIDER PROJECT WORK:-

During the reasrch project ofthe orkut at Google , he had devoloped the independent project so as to the search the shortest techniques to search over the required website.

His project was based over Graphical Representaion of the webpages so as to trace the target witihin the shortest interval of time.It was the most facinating project i had ever seen after the project given by a Russian personality in GOOGLE -CODEJAM 2002 .

Thing that influenced me the the most was the reasearch project by him at Google

A brief review of the project was as follows :

The web spider is an application program that scans web pages for a given root URL location. The spider generates a graphical representation of a particular domain of the web space indicating the path and links. It also extracts data from these web pages and gives the pages that seem more important, depending on the number of links to that page.The black lines indicate the path used while traversing the pages. The green lines indicate links to pages visited previously. Finally the red lines indicate links to pages at other external locations. The graphic can be viewed both in 2D and 3D. In order to obtain a three dimensional representation, the graphic is mapped on an ellipsoid.The locations are visited using breadth first search so that links closer to the root are visited first. The scanning ends when all pages have been visited or the stop command is selected.

This program was developed using Visual C++ 5.0 and runs in Windows operating system.

awesome na …… Google minds at great Hights..

SOME FACT N FIGURES OF ORKUT SITE:-

According to statistics, orkut has also become popular in Brazil, where greater than 3% (June 2005) of the population are registered orkut users. This is the highest percentage of any single country’s population using the service.

As far we the indian are concerned ,we do not lack behind in that ,ya we are also the top achievers of the list.

The number of Brazilian Orkut users has reached more than 66% of the total users, followed by United States and India, with about 13% and 7% respectively(As of Augest 9,2006). Due to the number of Brazilian users and communities in the Portugese Language, users from other parts of the world became upset with the service, when it established Portuguese as the first “alternate default language,” (as English was the primary default language) prompting many community owners to enforce an English-only posting policy.
