"Lesser" stuff?

Orkut was dominated by Brazilians in 2004. That is at a time when Friendster was the social media darling and Facebook was still called TheFacebook. When Fotolog was huge in Brazil, Flickr was still a MMOG.

You just can't say that Brazil adopted "lesser" stuff, when the "other" stuff didn't even exist in a comparable form.

so maybe brazil is such an early adopter it ends up ignoring sites that get popular everywhere else, then? :-)
