Orkut.com - the social networking site of Google. It has become famous - popluar enough to have viruses run specifically for it !

But the problem I address here is that Orkut asks me to install missing plugins.

That Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page.

Click here to download plugin even.

When I do click it takes me to the Plugin Finder Service ( I’m using Mozilla Firefox) and tells me to install Adobe Flash Player (Macromedia was bought by Adobe)

But first !

Why does Orkut need flash player anyway ? There are no flash animations of any thing like that in Orkut , right !

Well, if you look at the code carefully, you’ll find some flash at the friends list and the testimonials - userdata.swf

What does it do ? Why is it there ? Find out ! And tell me …
