Patriotism, style and dating are among the most popular Mumbai communities on Orkut, according to the Orkut Zeitgeist. “We have noticed a rise in online Marathi communities in the city as well, but attribute this to new tools that we have introduced that help netizens communicate in their local
language,” reveals Rahul Kulkarni, product manager, Google India.
On the national scene, Bollywood takes a beating from southern ‘Power Star’ Pawan Kalyan and Telugu and Tamil cinema. When it comes to sports, football beats cricket in terms of popularity, though Sachin Tendulkar remains India’s favourite cricketer.
Kulkarni says, “And contrary to expectations, the beautiful game’s popularity has been gradual and has nothing to do with the recently concluded World Cup.”
