Orkut Added SMS Notification for Scraps!

Webmaster Blog — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:00:10 +0000

Orkut launched one of the most awaited feature – Notification via SMS. This feature let you receive new scrap notifications, get friend info, and more from your mobile device.

Just go to http://www.orkut.co.in/MobileSetupSettings.aspx and you will see option to specify your mobile number to receive notifications.

Also check out SMS commands page for SMS orkutting. I think SMS command will work only in Brazil.

As of now this new feature is available in India and Brazil only. Moreover in India, only Aircel, BPL, MTNL, Reliance, Spice and Tata networks are supported. This is really bad news for me as I use Airtel & BSNL.

Do not forget to check price details for your carrier as this service may cost you some bucks.

I hope this will get better soon.

Try Orkut ‘View Conversation’ feature

This is another most wanted feature which I had in list for my Orkut usage. Many times you reply to a person but since they replied a long time back it becomes difficult to track down what did they say and what you had been asking. In short â€œThe conversationâ€ like one we have in Gmail was missing till now.

Orkut seems to have added this and its like the threaded discussion in forums. You can view all the details of your conversation when you click on View conversation link on a scrap.

How To Use Orkut Application for Twitter

Webmaster Blog — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:19:38 +0000

All of your friends might be knowing about Orkut but I bet only some of them might be knowing about Twitter. If you donâ€™t have your real friends on twitter and want them to know about your recent tweets then this application is of great to use to you. Twitkut adds your recent tweets to Orkut profile page. So, all your Orkut friends can also recieve frequent updates on twitter as well as be able to read them from Orkut itself.

Indian bloggers have this problem because our friends prefer orkut and before this it was not possible to let your Orkut friends know about your tweets. By this application, they would get an idea what twitter actually is!

Moreover, it shows which all of your friends are using Twitkut so that you can follow them. It shows you their combined recent tweets too. This way you donâ€™t have to follow them separately on Twitter. You can simply read their tweets every time you visit Orkut.

It can act as a bridge between Orkut and twitter, I like it personally. Only limitation is that It can only update the activity stream 3 times a day. So, if it has already updated thrice in a day, it wonâ€™t update again.

This would be dream come true for heavy scrappers and fan of orkut who spend their day and night there. After Orkut added sms notification of scraps you get it anytime somebody does it on yours. However its a charged service which makes it little uncomfortable for users who gets huge scrap.

I am not sure how much people will be charged for it but I am very sure heavy users wont go for it , I guess then who will need it ? Moreover imagine a person who gets smapped on scraps, Guess he will be paying money for spams more then scraps. So my Question is ? Do you use SMS notification of Orkut Scraps ?
