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.
Joey sums it up nicely, with a Star Trek parable. How appropriately geeky are we.
Oh, and note the term orkquaintences was coined in the comments. That one might make the OED in 2006.
