You heard it here first...(in english)

The Brazilian community on orkut is revolting and moving to a new social networking site called Gazzag. I have no idea what that means, nor do I speak Portugese, but to see all the buzz check out: http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&url=gazzag

I heard this first hand from a Brazilian friend of mine! I don't have an invite, so I can't check out the site. Reading the terms of service it seems this company is based out of Brazil.

From their company page:

GAZZAG connects people through their friends and friends of friends. Our intention is to make your social life, and that of your friends, more active and interesting.

GAZZAG helps you to keep in contact with your friends and get to know them better, meet new people, reestablish contact with old friends, participate in communities that share your interests, establish business relationships and organize meetings.

These communities cover thousands of interest areas: From contacts with old school friends, philosophy and music, to the exchange of food recipes.

You will meet new people through friend networks and will know previously by means of which friends they have reached you. You will also be able to invite new people at GAZZAG, who still don't belong to your friend network, to join your network as your guest. But it's up to you to decide which information you want to share or with whom you want to communicate.

Additionally, you may post photo albums and your blog, besides being reminded of your friends' birthday and be informed about any event they might be organizing.

To join GAZZAG click the link of the e-mail you received and follow the instructions to create your account. If you are not interested in joining GAZZAG, just delete your invitation or click the link to quit receiving friends' messages inviting you to join GAZZAG. If you change your mind in the future, don't worry: We will be here waiting for you.

You will be able to meet lots of new people and even start dating if you wish. For this purpose you can use Gazzag Dating, a separate site where you can communicate using a nickname and remain anonymous as long as you wish.

If you have not received an invitation to join GAZZAG yet, please wait for a while. In the near future we will be making available the registration option to start new friend networks from scratch.

Have fun!
