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 itâ€™s time for me to sign-up for Orkut just to try it out.

Oh god, no blog features please, NO! Itâ€™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.
