Lots of Picks today, so let’s dive right in!
- Don’t get too excited when you see that Google Talk is now available for your iPhone. It’s browser-based, which means your conversation dies if you switch from Safari.
- In case you were wondering, Firefox did earn the world record for most downloads in a single day.
- Google signed an agreement with Brazil to fight child pornography on its social network Orkut–which, outside of Brazil, has to be Google’s biggest flop ever!
- If you enjoyed analyzing Twitter data, you’ll mourn the death of Twitterboard.
- If you think you’ve been banned by Google, you might want to go through the steps outlined on the official Webmaster Central Blog.
- Our friend and WOM guru Andy Sernovitz is hosting a small-group word of mouth marketing seminar on July 30th. Use the code "welovemarketingpilgrim" and save $250 on registration
- My good friend, ex-colleague, and nomad Ben Wills has launched his new company Ontolo–check out the minimalist design.

I’m sure they’ll still make a Gtalk app soon though…hopefully.

And what a nice way to thank all the people who downloaded them. Individual mails to every single one. That must be a record too!

Orkut is huge in India too, and with the population of that country nudging in excess of 1.1 billion, it would seem that they got good penetration in the second most populous country in the world. The internet savvy audience in India is growing daily, truly a developing market!

Why Orkut is a success is beyond me. True, I’m not much of a fan of social networks but I still use some of them as I find them of certain value. Orkut, though… can’t figure the hang of it and why it’s such a big hit in certain countries.

I’m not surprised since firefox is such a great browser. I didn’t think Orkut was such a flop, just because it’s not popular in the US. I guess if you compare it to the success google typically sees, it could be considered a total flop.
