    The party photos Googlers don't want you to see

    Was it something we said? On Friday, we featured a snapshot of Googler Orkut Buyukkokten — yes, that Orkut. The photo appeared in Google engineering manager Niniane Wang's Smugmug gallery of a 2006 party held at colleague Orkut Buyukkokten's South of Market loft. The page now has a password, but it's trivially easy to guess: The street on which the party was held, all lowercase.

    That would be "bryant"; the party was a farewell to Buyukkokten's loft at 767 Bryant, #204, known as Studio 767. Buyukkokten himself posted over 80 pages of photosto his .Mac homepage. No password, as of yet.
