Orkut to make a comeback again?


We are all aware that Google’s product ‘Orkut’ has already lost the race to Facebook in social networking. But still Google thinks its not over yet and has decided to make several changes to orkut. These changes will be coming up in 2 weeks from now, the changes include:
  • Left navigation, to help you get to the most popular features more easily.
  • A new larger profile photo, a popular request. Be sure to upload a higher resolution photo of yourself!
  • New full profile view, which lets you and your friends see your info, interests, badges, testimonials and recent photos and videos.
  • New fullscreen slideshow for photos (this surely seems to be inspired by Facebook).
The new User Interface will be made available to all users (i.e. no invitation play this time :P ).

Are you going back to Orkut, even if they have the best user experience? First things first, Orkut needs to control spams on the site. And then, find out ways to bring back users (so far, there hasn’t been a single push drive by Google to reach out to ‘lost users’).
Orkut recently turned 7 years old and last month, launched Orkut Box Office.
