Orkut to add new features
By Madhur Kapoor on Jan 22, 2007 in General, Google
Recently while browsing through the help section on Orkut , i saw that they are conducting a poll on which new features to add on Orkut . Most of the features which i would love are listed there . Some of them are
- Set Scrapbook to local time zones . Now this is a feature which everyone will love .Currently i get too much trouble deciphering at what time did my friend scrap me .
- Allow posting more than 12 photos in an album
- Restrict the copy and paste functions on photos
- Allow me to change colors and layout of my profile .This is a feature which i think they should have incorporated long ago ..lets hope they do this now.
- Add Blog features
- Keep profile out of search results .Good for privacy purposes.
I am waiting to see when and what new features will be implemented in Orkut .Hope they do it soon . What features do you want to see in Orkut ?
Nice new features, maybe it’s time for me to sign-up for Orkut just to try it out.

Oh god, no blog features please, NO! It’d become another 360 like failure if anything.

Guys let me tell you
The only reason Orkut is safe till now is because its not open-source
the moment they start offering free-layout-changing option you cant believe the amount in which Orkut will be abused
however i dont mind pre-defined color selection
and as this is first time i m visit your blog Madhur, its nice

I have been waiting to learn more about Orkut… I have an account but have never gotten around to spending a lot of time there. Is it worth it? Can you tell me more about your experience with Orkut. Can you meet a lot of people?

I have had a great experiance with orkut . I was able to find most of my school friends through it and we generally use it to keep in touch . Plus you can also meet people with common interests there as it has a communties section . So definately it is worth a try .

Orkut is finally changing, the color scheme kills me =(, also orkut does need to change a lot because there is too much spam and communities such as facebook with their high tech features and in my opinion are much better.
