Orkut Under Maintenance

I opened the okrut homepage to see that it is under construction! No reason, no update, no estimated time of ‘back to service’, nothing. This is so un-Google like. All other Google services i have been using announce anykind of updates or downtime before hand and announce when it is going to be back to normal. This is a social networking service, where people come to meet/talk to other people. How can they be so irresponsible?

orkut is under construction.
please check back soon (=

Update: They have acknowledged the downtime thats something good but no reason for the downtime which is very bad.
