Bad, bad server. No donut for Orkut

“Unfortunately, the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way. Hopefully, it will return to its helpful self if you try again in a few minutes.” This message is nothing sort of new for the users of the Orkut services.

Orkut has become victim of its own success. It has such a large user base that we (the users of orkut) keep seeing these kind of messages too often. They need to work of scaling the solution to minimize (if not eliminate) such issues of service disturbance.
