New Delhi: Orkut, Google’s first foray into social networking, is closing down today. Announced three months back, Google is going to shut down its early social-networking service, Orkut, on September 30 to focus on its other social networking initiatives.

Orkut was launched ten years ago but has failed to put Google ahead in what has become one of the Web’s most popular businesses. The company declined to say how many users Orkut has.
