I just got an email notification from Orkut that a friend of mine left me a message. So I go over there to check it out and it isn't showing up in my messages area. This has happened to me a few times. Orkut will send you a notification of something, yet it seems to be before the site itself has updated. Hello? What's the point of telling someone there's a message or friend request from them if you aren't going to let them read/accept it. Idiots.
