Orkut was a social network affiliated with Google, created on January 24, 2004 and deactivated on September 30, 2014. Its name originates from the chief designer, Orkut Büyükkökten, a Turkish engineer at Google.

Orkut's headquarters were in California until August 2008, when Google announced that Orkut would be operated in Brazil by Google Brazil due to the large number of Brazilian users and the growth of legal issues

Since October 2011, Orkut had been falling while other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter were growing more and more. Many Orkut users, in previous months, stopped accessing the social network and thus it lost its space in the market.

Social

Facebook at ad:tech in London in 2010.

As a social network, Facebook allowed connections between people who had not been in contact for many years.

It is currently the most successful social network, and its social impact is much greater than previous social networks. David Kirkpatrick, journalist and author of the book The Facebook Effect ("The Facebook Effect"), Facebook was structured in such a way that it is difficult to emerge a new social network capable of competing with Facebook. According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, around 44% of the American population got news from the social network. A 2015 survey reveals that more than 70% of the Brazilian population consumed content within the social network.

Emotional

Studies have shown that the use of Facebook can have negative effects on its users' self-esteem by causing feelings of envy and that they are alone. Research from the University of Utah found that college students felt worse about their lives after spending more time on Facebook.

One explanation for the emotional impact may be the cognitive dissonance of social network users, when dividing their time using the social network and interacting in the real world. When something positive happens in real life, for example, people often share it on social media. However, as people use social media more, perspectives on life, love and relationships become based on interactions on social media.

WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, former Yahoo! employees. After realizing the potential of the new iPhone app store, and with the idea of putting a status next to people's names in the messaging app, the duo hired Russian programmer Igor Solomennikov on the website RentACoder.com. The application was launched in November 2009, after the seed capital obtained by Acton from his friends he met at Yahoo!

curiosities

WhatsApp had the proposal of a Facebook with Orkut but instead of sending a profile you used your number and the number of other people to be able to communicate.

In February 2015, judge Luiz Moura Correia, from the Piauí Court, ordered the temporary suspension of WhatsApp throughout Brazil. This decision was taken after the application refused to provide information about a police investigation investigating a pedophilia crime that occurred in Teresina, the capital of Piauí.
