Orkut memes flood Twitter as netizens take trip down memory lane; 'good old days'

New day, new trend. Every now and then Twitter is filled with memes and jokes inspired by something that is about to happen or was long forgotten. A similar incident happened on January 27, when Twitteratis flooded the micro-blogging site as they were apparently hit by nostalgia. The inspiration for their creative memes this time was a social networking platform, Orkut, that seized to exist after 2014. The popular social media platform was widely remembered among the nostalgia-hit netizens who recalled Orkut with hilarious memes. One user highlighted how many are posting memes over the Orkut testimonials whereas another joked about starting conversations with ASL (Age/Sex/Location). "#orkut was a far more authentic and organic experience as compared to the banal social media platforms today. Life has become so complex, the world reduced to mere ‘appearances’ - to appear cool, wise, cosmopolitan! All a facade! (sic)", wrote another user. Ha ha starting a conversation with 'ASL?' and people respond to it frankly.
