Have you ever used it?

Before its extinction, it had two versions:
a modern Facebook-like interface and an old one for its loyal fans.

Orkut never overcame its dilemma to move forward, leaving the old design, which led to its demise.

Lots of voices of abandoning the site if the old design goes away.

Orkut was my first social media. I used it when I was in school.

It was not my first social network experience, though: heavily used IRC and Usenet before.
