The 'how many friends' is what I refer to as the gaming aspect, I do not play that game.

Orkut actually offers something else. I have access to data on all my "friends" - the term friends here is a bit loose, since it includes people whom I now via IRC, people whom I have met at conferences/workshops and the Copenhagen Perl Mongers etc.
I can via Orkut have access to data like birthdays, phonenumbers and sexual orientation etc. eh, forget the last one, but anyway, this is data I would not normally have access to unless I did a lot of emailing etc. and as an active member of the Copenhagen Perl Mongers it is very convenient for me to have access to a sort of yellow pages of the Perl community, it will make it much easier for me to get access to people, if I find out that they are in Scandinavia and not to mention the post YAPC::* chaos where you try to locate some of the people you talked to about small things, which evolve to ideas which might need to be pursued.
I like Orkut, it gives me a head start
commercial break over
