A Tip on Friend Suggestions by Orkut
Friend Suggestion is an very good tool to find out some those orkut friends whom you know but can’t search because they don’t use a name or uses symbols in their name by some keyboard font trick. This is also very useful when a friends joins orkut with whom you have lost touch. This actually helped me a lot of my school friends who joined orkut now in college.
But you would rather like to turn it off if you have lot of anonymous friends whom you don’t know personally as the friend suggestions would suggest more unknown people.
