This is all fine and dandy, and as i mentioned in another mail i send
to the list some hours ago, this is the work-around i'm using too.
However it is good to explicitly mention again that this is a _hack_
that will _only_ work on orkut.
I'm presuming though that since its on the wish list to make a proper
solution for this, such hacks will never have to go into production
environments (which would be a shame, since you'd have to make such a
hack per social site, since they all formulate their url's differently).
Just mentioning it so that people don't get wrong expectations or the
wrong impression of what this type of hack is meant for.
