A Yahoo employee's take on Orkut: Google Needs Users.
google's advertising model has emerged to be the least offensive to me of any that I can think of. I've even clicked on paid links simply because I was actually searching for that product or service at the time, and felt well-served by google as a result.
So if google helps keep itself afloat by data-mining orkut and using what it knows about me to pick more personally-tailored paid links, more power to'em.
