You must be surprised why we have changed the theme again ? When we changed from OrkutHeroes to FlockPost we came up with a new look. Being a beginner, it took me a long time to think of the layout, color scheme and other features. Zazo was always besides me to help, motivate and sometimes to irritate as well. We had a lot of fun working together. Even after putting lot of efforts and dedicating time, somewhere in our heart we always felt that “this was not what we thought of.” The old look of OrkutHeroes, a colorful blog with magazine look was much better.

first look of flockpost.com

I and Zazo many a times get back to old memories, talk about OrkutHeroes, how it evolved… how it became popular… and talking about technical aspects how it achieved a PR of 4. It has been a long time since Zazo wrote on FP, reason being we got busy with other stuff. Trying our best to achieve our goals and do something which could connect people of our city, Udaipur. And, by God’s grace and support of our loved ones we started a Blog dedicated to our city Udaipur: http://udaipurtimes.com

Though, we have reverted to the old design I am still happy that I learned a lot while working on FlockPost’s theme. You must not be knowing that I named my theme as “Arromatry”. “Aromatry” consists of two different words Aroma and Try. Aroma, because it was a new design and with new thoughts in our mind we changed to FlockPost. Try, because we wish to move ahead with something new and different. Also, the word “Try” was a synonym to my lovely younger sister’s name “Cheshta” which means effort/attempt.

At last, I would like to say “Thanks” to Zaheer for providing me such a good platform for blogging and introducing me to the world of Internet and Social Media. I hope that everything will be fine and we will soon come back to our Online World of Blogging and Social Media which we miss a lot.

Regards
Puneet Sahalot

Internet is something which promotes “What’s Free Is Yours”. The system of “free” has boosted spamming and scamming on the web. “Free” mind people use the “free” stuff to cheat people and make money. Everything they need to build their empire is available for free on the web:

1. Free Hosting Services:

Web space is the basic requirement of a website and availability of web space for free is a boon for spammers.

Since, reputed hosting providers may block hosting of such sites it would cause a financial loss to the owner. Therefore, in most of the cases, free hosting is used to host sites meant for forgery and spamming.

2. Free / Cheap Domains:

Buying a domain is not a big deal; you can find a number of discount offers every day. Availability of free domains helps people minimize the expenses. Such sites generally use a domain similar to a reputed site.

3. Free Scripts

A large number of spamming/scamming sites require scripts to build dynamic content. Not everyone is a good developer and designer. But, as usual, one can find clone/site scripts for free. A number of forums and sites are dedicated to promote such kind of “free” stuff.

Mailing / bombing scripts are a good way to flood the victim’s inbox..!!

4. Free Content

Everyone knows content on web can’t be protected and this helps spammers spice up their sites. Almost all sites meant for forgery use content which is copied from the original sites.

5. Free Registration

Yes, it’s one of the reasons. No one needs to pay a fee to get registered on most of the sites. Spammers use these sites and forums extensively. They post links in their comments and signatures on forums, blogs, social networking sites, community pages, groups and every possible place which gives them an opportunity to write.

This was all that I could figure out. Was I charged for it? Was I paid? No..!! This is yet another “free” stuff. If you have something to add to the list, drop in a comment.

Still there are many things to be done on part of customization and design, so kindly excuse us if you notice some changes or are unable to use few of our blog features. We are in our final stage of completion.

Any suggestions regarding the look of flockpost will be helpful for us. So, please feel free to make comment.

Monisha Mohandas, a reporter from ERGO approached us and took a brief interview of both founder and co-owner of orkutheroes Zaheer Abbas (zazo) and Tarannum (Tara) and gave us an honorable recognition. I would say that it’s just a start and there are more like this on its way.

Thanks! A big thanks to all our readers, who continuously supported us, trusted us and helped us in coming through all this way. Congratulations! To all those individuals and orkut community owners and moderators whose stories, interviews and community reviews are published on OrkutHeroes.com.

However, our blog is not any official award but definitely a reward to those who are utilizing their precious online time on doing something good for others, while many of us just think “being online is nothing but fun”.

Thanks to Orkut.com, its founder, owner Google. Because of them we exist. Thanks for making orkut.com our home on Internet.

Special thanks to Michael Jubel of ColorlabProjects.com and Gaurav Khanna of Elixir Technologies Pvt. Ltd. for every support and help they provided in making this site beautiful.

I wish that the success saga of Orkut Heroes continues for years and hope to see orkut.com spread all over the world bridging the cultures, societies and friends.

Life Made Simple is a book written by one of the most influential man I come across through social networking site orkut. It is a Journey of a scientist, a motivator and a public speaker Dr. T.P Sasikumar who is also a spiritual teacher, a father, a son and a husband. Life Made Simple is an online community on orkut where Dr Sasikumar used to conduct questions and answers session, discussions and advices to those who seek a right path for life.

Dr Sasikumar pen down his experiences and all his important discussions on a book Life Made Simple, which is now available in Indian market. The book also contains T.P Sasikumar’s interview on orkutheroes which I took on 10^th may 2008. I feel lucky to be mentioned in Life Made Simple.

The Preface of the Book says:

“This book has taken birth through a socializing website orkut. Running my community “Life is to Live”, I had received tremendous response from netizens all over the world. After years of its making the community got hacked. But see! Life moves on.

Now, there is another orkut community “Life Made Simple” and its brainchild, this book. All the important discussions, questions and answers sessions which formed the part of the forum on the community, have been taken verbatim in this book just to make it realistic and easy to read and digest. They are inserted in the form of comments.

No matter, how big or established we are in our fields of work and interest, the common aim at which we all are striving for is To Lead life fully. But unfortunately and unknowingly, we complicate it. This could be avoided by some simple practices and observing little norms in life. This “simple” book is a tool to facilitate this. Read anything from any page; it has something exclusively for you.

I need hardly add that it was not my intention nor is it possible to deal with each and every complexity of life. But I have tried to cover almost all aspects and doubts which generally arise in one’s mind who wants to lead a meaningful life.. Through this, one may lead a simple yet higher life.

Sharing my thoughts I feel many could be benefited as I have gained in my life through this simple formula that life is simple. If this small book awakens in any aspiring heart a spirit to live life simply without much of idiosyncrasies, I shall consider my life amply rewarded. These thoughts on life did not descent to me from any alien land; rather I lived and observed these in my simple life. So regarding this, reflects upon your own life and live life with to the full. Enjoy and share it too! Life is Simple, just live it. Expanding the word LIFE its meaning unfolds: Living in full enjoyment.

In making of this book, I had the encouragement and enforcement from may. It will be a failure on my part, if I do not name a few. My family was with me in all my activities with all their support. Those who contributed directly deserve a major right on this book. Introduction of Dr. Radhika Nagrath through Mrs. Ajitha and Mrs. Josmi was a blessing in shaping the book. Sri. Sudhakaran of Indological trust is with me in most of my writings an I owe him a lot.

Enjoy reading and simple living!

Sa, sneham.

Dr. TP sasikumar.”

I would like to congratulate Dr. Sasikumar of such an energetic and full life book and thank you for adding that invaluable interview of yours with me. For more information on Life Made Simple, please feel free to contact Dr. Sasikumar on drtpsasikumar@gmail.com or dr_tps@yahoo.com

Michael Jackson,”King of Pop” that is how world recognizes him for quite subsequent years. Michael Joseph Jackson, born on Aug 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. is an American Singer, songwriter, record producer, arranger, dancer, choreographer, actor, businessman, and financier. MJ is a man who made people of all age group, dance on his numbers for more then a decade now. In this journey of more then 50 years he came across many controversies, related to his personal life like, his face surgery, charges of sexual and child abuse. But all this do not let him go off the minds and heart of his fans. He has been cited one of the world’s most famous men. You can still see people dressed like him in different music events organized. In one line we can say that he gave the world a new definition of break dance, being an Afro- American. Jackson has also raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes and charity. There is lot more about Jackson to be written about but it needs an entire book and this article could not do justice to it.

There is no big deal in talking about his fans because he is a hero for the music and dance lovers all over world, but what I want to portray is, we have always seen fans meeting ,doing party ,wearing t-shirts printed MJ’s name or picture on it, dancing like him and we also know that their must be thousands of his fans online as well ,but have you ever thought what these fans can do by creating an online community on any of the social networking site? Yes, the question comes up is what do they do? Here I got the answer when came across the community Michael Jackson on orkut.com.

The English MJ community was started by an American guy in February 2004, but it was not really active and last year Alexandre Montagna from Brazil took it over. He found Rita, who prefers to be called EMJ, and works in Mumbai for an IT firm, to be a big time MJ Fan and found her capable of being given the responsibility of the moderator and then the community flourished like never before and today it is here being tagged as a WOW!.

While surfing on Orkut you will find many MJ’s Fans community but this community is the cleanest and SPAM free. Recently they went through a clean up session and that’s why if you will visit the community you will find very less threads. But all existing ones are worth. Any poll needs to get moderator approval to start. The community does not supports music piracy, and no threads are allowed for gaming (non-MJ), or topics not linked to MJ. Doing all this was tough for EMJ and another moderator Suryeah but then they continued following their rules which made few people infuriated as well but they continue to struggle and make their community an idol place for everyone with latest reports and assessments.

The community provides you with some of the best and revealing threads. Each thread has its own reason to stay like, ‘MJ’s videos’, ‘MJ’s unreleased tracks’ or ‘MJ Experiences’ or ‘King of Pop quiz’ or ‘The MJ chat thread’. Regular feedback is taken and members are always encouraged to come up with new and creative ideas like the recent one,’ Hall of Fame’. The community makes each effort possible to bring in light Michael Jackson’s true talent and pay tribute to their idol in every probable way.

Dismayed by the ways MJ is always been dragged into controversy and really annoyed with the media, EMJ says, that there is no proof for whatever MJ is been charged of and it’s sad that people still do not know the entire truth and do not even try to acknowledge the facts, in a discussion on Rated -WOW! Community. According to her,” If people wouldn’t want to hear all that trash, press/media wouldn’t print it. Unfortunately, we live in society where people get their kicks from hurting others images, no matter how dirty and disgusting it goes.
I pray… For God’s sake people should stop judging & criticizing MJ.”

Michael Jackson is an upcoming community with finest of active members like DMJ ( The one who, suggested flockpost.com Team about this community ) Nithin, Sandhya, Shabna, Hero, Alan, Kritika, Peter Pan, Melvin, Rohit, Rahul, along with a great count of 26000+ total members. “We are like an online family”, says EMJ, with poise. They really don’t claim to be the best and unique MJ Fan’s community. However they are determined to make it a lively place and the best online space for all the MJ Fans. For them it’s only a beginning, and they have to go long way ahead. Most of the community members have kept their names as a sign of honor to MJ and in their words they al l ‘keep Michaelling along!’

We also believe and hope for them to go a long way all Michaelling!

What could be more respectful for The Legend like him?

Orkut scraps are the best way to get in touch with your friends, family and co-workers. Scraps are also the shortest and fastest medium to express your feelings, either short or long discussions or just having fun with friends. No, I am not going to write an essay “What are scraps?” My point is how creative you are in expressing your own self in front of anyone you know or you just want to make friends on orkut?

Creativity can make you look “unique” and “out of the crowd”. We got an idea to help your creativity by our small knowledge of art. So, let us introduce a brand new, exclusive and unique service for all orkut users.

As you know we have 5 different categories on flockpost.com and each category gives a different service than other. We are adding a new category which we named Freekaout , it means “just freak out” . More precisely, just check out the free graphic stuffs for your personal use on orkut or any other website you wish to use.

What we are going to put in Freekaout?

Something different, different than what you may be thinking or what you saw on other websites and blogs related to orkut stuffs, this is our promise that we are going to add something you imagined but never took it out in the form of art. Initially our service will be poster graphics for orkut scraps.

Is Freekaout is free to use?

Absolutely, you are free to use it in anyway till the graphic contains our name in it i.e. www.flockpost.com, because we gave our time, mind and hard work in creating those arts only for you and we hope that you will admire our work and effort.

So, finally when we can see freekaout?

We are all done, 3^rd Nov 2008, between 00:00 hrs to 9:00 hrs IST.
