Orkquaintences
Orkut, yes, I've been
tempted, too - played with it over the weekend. Social networking sites seem
to value quantity over quality which I found very quickly: almost immediately
a 'friend of a friend' invited me to join his friends. I mailed him back,
thanks but no thanks. No friends-inflation for me.

How appropriately geeky are we.
Oh, and note the term orkquaintences was coined in the comments.
That one might make the OED in 2006.
