Drag and drop to customize your profile page

Orkut profiles have become a lot more dynamic in the last year. Not only are your photos, videos, and testimonials showcased on your profile, but now users in many parts of the world can also add OpenSocial applications to their profiles. With so many new elements on the profile page, we've received feedback that you'd like to be able to arrange it as you wish.

So, to help you organize all this content and show your visitors the elements you most want them to see, we've rolled out new functionality. Here's a couple of things you can now do:
  1. Reorganize your profile page with drag-and-drop: Simply click on any of the applications or showcases (photos, videos, and testimonials) on your profile page and drag them around until they are just as you'd like. The new layout of your profile page will automatically be saved, so your profile visitors will see everything just as you want it.
  2. Put as many or as few applications on your profile as you want. Until now, you were able to display up to three applications on your profile, and some of you wanted to show more. Now, when you add an application, you can choose whether or not you want it on your profile. Just select or unselect the "Add to my profile" box above the big "Add Application" button. You can change this any time with the "tool" button in the upper-right corner of the application.
So go ahead and rearrange your profile and make it your own...and if that's not enough, why not add a theme as well!?

Tag- that's me!

Photos have long been a popular feature of orkut, which is why we have engineers working full-time to make it easier for you to upload, share and browse photos on orkut. Recently, we increased our photo capacity so you can upload as many as you like, and we made it easier for you to organize your photos once you have them in your orkut albums. This week, we launched photo tagging so that you can label your orkut friends in your photos.

Here's how it works: when you're browsing your own or your friends' photo albums, simply click the "add tag" link below the bottom right corner of the photo. Then click your mouse over the friend you would like to label. A box will appear, prompting you to type your friend's name. As you type, the field will auto-complete so you can easily find the orkut friend you'd like to tag. When you browse tagged photos, hover over the name of a person to see which person he or she is in the photo. If you click, you'll be taken to his or her profile.

When one of your friends tags you in a photo, you'll receive an email. If you'd like to turn this notification off, you can go to notification settings. If a friend tags you in a photo and it's not you (or just a bad photo of you!), you can click on the trash can next to your name and delete the tag for good. The photo owner also has permission to delete any tags on his or her photos. If you'd rather not let your friends tag your photos, or be tagged in any photos, you can disable the feature completely in your privacy settings. Many people have already begun tagging their photos. Happy tagging!

A faster, lighter version of orkut

A few weeks ago we launched a low bandwidth version of orkut that makes your experience on orkut faster. This is especially helpful if you are using a 56.6 or 64 kps modem, or if you are on a DSL connection with many users. How does it work? The low bandwidth version of orkut avoids downloading images unless you really want them, which lets you navigate through the site more quickly.

When orkut pages seem to be taking a long time to load, you'll receive a prompt that lets you switch to the low bandwidth version. Similarly, orkut also prompts you to switch back to the regular version if the pages start downloading quickly again. If it seems like your connection is slow and you don't see a message, you can manually switch to the low bandwidth version by going to the general settings tab.

Although some things are displayed differently in the low bandwidth version compared to the regular version (for example, your friends and communities will appear as simple lists, rather than photos), people who have tried the low bandwidth version have told us that they are sticking with it: it's saving them money (if they pay by amount of data downloaded) and is making it more efficient and fun to browse the site. So give the new version a spin -- it may save you time or money or both!

Google Search Within Orkut Forums (Sorkut)

Known as Sorkut, this hack was developed by Rohit Kumbhar and is only available for Firefox users (sorry IE fans). For those fortunate enough to partake of the browser rebellion, you can download the add-on over here.

Here is a brief description about Sorkut below:

Use this toolbar to search for threads with specific words in the title. Just give the cmm id of the community you want to search, enter the search term and click Search. Its basically an automation that an ultra patient person would go through for searching the threads he wants.

NOTE: You must be logged in to orkut to use this toolbar.



This hack is great but for those of you who are visual, lets do a picture recap below.

The CMM ID of a forum is the number at the end of the forum link.


Simply copy and paste that number into the CMM Id box.



Next, type in what word you want to search. In this case, I am searching a Christian community with the word "bible" in it.


This will bring up every post with the word "bible" in it's topic headline. For those of you who want to search for a word within the forum, simply check the Search posts box and it will Google the word for you.

After that, open the saved file in any text-editor like Notepad and find the below text:

var communityIds = ['419822','6413141','1027'];

Remove all the ID's there and put your own community ID's in the same manner. Make sure you put them in single quotes and saparate them using commas.

If you do not know what a community ID is, then look at the address bar of your browser when you visit your community, you will find the address as below:

http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=419822

In the above address, the number given at the last (419822) is the community ID.

After you have added the list of communities, save it and open (or drag and drop) that script file in Firefox browser, you will get a dialog box to install the script.

CONS:

Jotting down all the pros, was an easy task. Their website and testimonials helped me through. But the cons were what I knew I would have to dig for, yet were so very obvious.

  • First of all it was a heavy setup to download. I would not mind if it was worth it at the end of it.
  • While using scrapboy, you are not notified if a friend is online or not. By logging into your orkut account, there is a module that atleast gives you a clue which friends of yours were last online.
  • If you have grouped your friends on orkut, scrapboy does not reflect the same. It does not allow you to make new groups either.
  • There is no option to delete any scrap. If you receive any offensive scrap and would like to delete it, you need to login to orkut through your browser. If you need to delete your own scrap that u posted erroneously, again you need to login to orkut to delete that. Then why the hell do you need scrapboy!!
  • The software is slow and hangs up for few seconds while downloading new scraps. In all it’s a badly written software with many bugs around too.
  • I am not able to see any pictures in my scrapboy messenger. All i see is a no photo image :(
  • This software only shows me the first few scraps in my scrapbook when i click on View More... it just hangs up
  • You cannot send links through this software.. well I send a lot of links to my friends...but i can't do that using this software it gives an error.

Well there are many advantages of this But there are also disadvantages of using this software.
I would rather remain at orkutting then using this software..
Hope the next version is even better then this one.
