Orkut Reloaded…
Friday, October 20th, 2006Looks like Google have done a major revamp of Orkut…
First on the list, the ability to sign up, without an invitation from an existing orkut user.
Second, at least what I have noticed, is the ability to reply to a scrap from your own scrapbook. Now you don’t need to go to the other person’s scrapbook to type your reply. Just click on the reply link and a textbox opens to type your scrap. On pressing submit, AJAX works in the background and sends your scrap to the orkut server. And, ta-dah! Your scrap has been added in the other person’s scrapbook without you leaving yours. (AN: I used to do this with a Firefox add-on before orkut was revamped the last time)
Third, I just saw this, the ability to block friend requests from people who don’t speak your language. Hmm, is this a feature or a bug? Open question…
