Orkut's popularity in South America is pretty much confined to just Brazil. So much so, that many users in the English-speaking world felt a little like Brazilians kind-of “ran us out of town.” Since then, Google has actually moved the entire base of operations of Orkut to a data center in Brazil. Speaking Portuguese is almost a requirement.

All that said, there's an interesting trend on Orkut as of late: Indians have started to migrate in. Latest traffic numbers imply that if the growth continues, India will represent the largest userbase on Orkut in another year. Unlike Brazilians, they are doing a lot of their communication in English (and surprisingly other European languages as well.. French is not uncommon) in addition to Hindi.

But the message is the same: know your market, and find what social networking sites they use.. and how they use it.
