This is just a Replication - you read it in Persian here before:
The interesting sociology points I found in Orkut
After checking the profiles of those Iranians living abroad for a long time, those who even prefer to have an English weblog instead of Persian in order to enjoy a wider spectrum of readers (not that there is anything wrong with that* ) still they have merely Iranians in their network of friends or the number of their country fellows are incomparable with the rest of nationalities(exceptions aside for sure!). This might have different reasons: firstly, it may suggest that we, Iranians are open to other cultures and customs as far as we are at work or school but we are reluctant to have them in our network of friends. The latter explanation might be laid in this reality that Iranian immigrants were not that successful in merging with other cultures and civilizations.
Sociology is not my major, and I know that numbers like the ones Orkut represents are not meant for sociological researches, but they can at least indicate something.
There are also some errors in profiles like the contradiction between the sexual orientations and the reasons people are attending Orkut, known as "Here for?" Like you say that you are not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that* ) but you are here for dating your own sex as well. This had vast coverage in Persians Weblogs. The simple explanation -in my opinion- is that they missed the point because of lack of English knowledge OR -equally important- because they don't know the content and implications of "date" in western culture in which date doesn't simply mean meeting!
And a friend added:
Date does not necessarily lead to intimacy but it is certainly more that chit chat.
