I’ve been browsing through the hi5 network and found some of my friends there. I have started tricalzone group there. So all the Y1 tricals please join there too. Here I have the invite link for anyone wanting to join my network of friends in hi5 . It is similar to tickle, orkut by Google … The first friends network I joined was ringo it was aquired by tickle later. I was looking for an invitation for orkut for sometime and some time back I got it. The invitation thing seems to be a good idea and google is using it successfully. If you cannot get something for free (as in free beer) many people feel it is something special. Google got more users by making the registration through invitation than it would have got through the open registartion and people would have taken it as just another id. Now people know the power of Gmail and people are looking for an inviation even now. It seems they are going to open gmail for public registration since I got an invitation from the gmail team through the email address I provided for updates about gmail in those gmail buzz days.
