General Service Level of Orkut

People who know me know that I have an urge to use the coolest, newest technology. Except possibly for mobile phones... I'm burnt out on mobile phones. But when an Orkut inviation came my way, I was overjoyed. I thought, "Orkut! Cool! I'm getting invited to an invitation only service. Someone loves me!" So I'm pretty happy with Orkut. I've used Ryze and LinkedIn before. My wife likes Tribe and I'm sure I know someone out there using Friendster. And just about everyone I know in the Bay Area has spent time looking at Craig's List, even if it's just to buy a toaster. All this is simply my way of saying, I've used a number of online FOAF and community building sites.

But I've noticed a lot of service outages lately. Many times I've tried to logon, looking for someone's contact info, only to get a 'server not available' type error. Ugh. If you really want me to consider Orkut to be a "critical service," you're going to have to have better uptime.
