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).

Get back Facebook’s old photo layout

If you login to your Facebook account and view pictures or album of your or your friends you could see surprising theater effect while browsing the photos, this feature is generally called as Theater Photo effect which will pop-up albums photos in a new windows. This feature was rolled out by Facebook just few days back and it’s now available to all the users. So do you like the new interface on viewing the photos in a new pop up windows?

News Applications Overview

For those who love getting all the news they like on a platter, the first generation RSS (really simple syndication) aggregators was a good bet. There was the entire gamut of RSS readers, be it desktop-based or web-based that looked the same and did pretty much the same. While they were functional, they were not cool. They were bland and boring.
