Orkut Profile being added to Google Search

Some orkut profiles will appear in Google search results as an orkut OneBox. A OneBox is a summary of your orkut profile, including key details like your name, photo and location. A OneBox appears only when someone who is logged in to orkut performs a search on Google.com for their friends or friends of friends. Keep in mind that this project is still in its experimental stage, so for now, only a small percentage of orkut users will see the OneBox in their search results.

Wondering what a OneBox Is ??

On top of the organic results (and sometimes at the bottom), Google shows OneBox results for queries that can be answered instantly or when a direct link can be offered.

There are several kinds of OneBox results.Click Here to know more about OneBox Result

You'll have the same privacy settings for the OneBox as you do for your full orkut profile, so no information you've made private in orkut will appear in Google search results. Additionally, if you wish to opt-out of the orkut Onebox altogether, you can do so by following these steps:

• On the left sidebar of the orkut hompage, click settings.
• Click the privacy tab.
• Under orkut in Google search results, click the hide information bubble.
• Click save changes at the bottom of the page.

Note:
Orkut and the search team both don't have a way to change whose profiles will appear in Google search results as a OneBox.

Orkut Goes After Unethical Profiles - Threatens To Report To Law Authorities!

After the much highlighted XSS debacle, it looks as if orkut has finally decided to take care of unethical minds on orkut. They are now issuing warnings on their homepage.

To be exact, these lines are being displayed as a security caution:

Security caution: Please do not use your orkut account to impersonate or harass other users. Violations of the orkut terms of service will lead to the suspension of your account. For serious violations, we can and will share information with local law enforcement agencies in your country. Be safe and keep orkut beautiful.

On a positive note, this was very much required to curb impersonation issues and the fact that official warnings make the work much easier.

Of the Latest Orkut Worm, Rodrigo Lacerda and 400,000 Members Joining One Community within 12 Hours of its Creation

NO WE ARE NOT JOKING !!!

Screenshot - WashingtonPost

A Quick introduction to the Post:

• Something was wrong on orkut
• Some members complained of joining a community which they did not do manually.
• Members were unable to un-join the community.
• Surprisingly, the community featured 400,000 members in 12 hours of it's creation

Note: The so called 'worm' was harmless, but it it raised serious questions on orkut security features.
How Did it all happen?

You read about our warning, an XSS in the scrapbook. Evil minds used this for unethical purposes, but one mind thought the other way. He used this flaw to create a history, turning orkut upside down and leaving them puzzled for sometime.

What Was in His Mind?

Rodrigo Narrates, August 8, 2006 he came to know about an XSS but at that point of time he didn't have perfect programming skills to exploit the hole. He says, at that time he wanted to hack as many communities and profiles as he could on orkut. The hole was fixed soon.

December 19, 2007 , he came across a similar XSS and this time he had proper programming skills to do what ever he wanted to. But his state of mind was a bit different this time. His attempt was not to hack or hurt anyone but wanted to show how destructive this can be if used for evil purposes. He created a fake community -Infectados pelo Vírus do Orkut which has hit the headlines everywhere.

SCREENSHOT OF NO OF MEMBERS

12 Hours, and the Community with 400,000 Members - How Did He Do It?

• Member Received a Scrap
• That scrap had an embed code.
• That code embed a JavaScript, which was decompressed twice.
• The JavaScript performed following functions:

-> It Automatically Joins a Member to a specific community

-> Member unknowingly sends scrap all to all his friends - with that code embed

-> Scrap is then deleted automatically.

-> So all his friends would do the same and thus, it was a fire spreading rapidly.

-> This came to a halt, when orkut finally fixed the XSS.

Find Your Gmail Friends On Orkut

Orkut Recently released there new feature through which you can add your Gmail friends as Orkut friends.. :)

This is one of the most awaited feature of Orkut..Many other Social Networking Sites had this feature...They used this to invite more people to there site. Now Orkut have also introduced this great feature..All the Google Talk users would be loving his feature as they can now invite or add there Google Talk friends on Orkut.

Everyone Knows that finding a profile on Orkut is very difficult. This feature makes this task easier for Orkut users.

Orkut Officials say about it :

One of the nice things about Gmail is that it adds the names of the people you have been in touch with over the years as contacts in your address book. Wouldn't it be nice if you could automatically find those contacts on orkut? We've started rolling out a new feature to do just that. If you use a gmail address to log into orkut, finding your friends is now just a click away. The find friends button on the homepage, friends page or friends list page gets you started on importing contacts. Your gmail address is already filled in, and since you've already logged into orkut, we don't have to ask for your Gmail password once again. We'll show you the contacts who are already on orkut, and let you choose which ones to add as friends. For contacts who aren't on orkut yet, we make it easy to choose the ones you want to invite to orkut. You can even add a personal message to send with the invite. Soon, we'll be adding support to import your contacts from other email accounts.

Well i feel sorry for the people who don't use Gmail Login, or have a different login for Orkut as they would not be able to use this feature. This feature is only available for Gmail as Orkut do not import address book at this time.

Note : Gmail does import address Book.

so you can use gmail to import address bookNow all those People who have a Gmail email address would see the above find friends feature on there Homepage. If Not you can go here :http://www.orkut.com/FindFriends.aspx

Once you go to the page it would look like this :

'Orkut has become integral part of Indians lives'

Chennai (PTI): Google's social networking site , Orkut.com has become an integral part of Indians' lives, a top official of the company said on Friday.

"We are quite pleased with what we have seen with both the loyalty and usage of Orkut in India.It seems to have become a very central part of people's lives and we are very proud of the fact that people get value addition," Shailesh Rao, Managing Director, Google India told reporters on the sidelines of a management seminar here on Friday.

Rao said Google had launched several products in local languages in India."Today, on Orkut, the users can transliterate using an English keyboard into Hindi, can view Orkut content in multiple regional languages," he said.

The MD also said the company had a lot more work to do in India and "our time in India is much more ahead of us than behind us."

To a query if other social networking sites were beginning to eat away at Orkut's users, he said "In fact, we are quite pleased with how users are taking to all kinds of services on the internet including social networking. In India, what we require is more diversity, more services, more options, more experimentation, more innovation. So I think it is wonderful there are more platforms that Indians can use and experiment lots of things."

Rao said the company's Indian operations had the largest number of employees next only to its US operations.

He said India would be the focus country for the company to carry out product and service developments.

Hate Clubs Mushroom on Orkut

If you happen to hate Big B's smug face, beaming across from every other channel, or those tireless 'K's' from Ekta Kapoor's 'soap factory', you now have space to vent your emotions.


Hate communities or hate clubs are becoming increasingly popular on social networking Web sites like Google-owned Orkut.

On Orkut, the Ekta Kapoor hate club leads the pack with a membership of nearly 76,468 and counting. Followed by Himesh Reshamiya (of the nasal twang) with 33,137 members; Shah Rukh Khan with 11,179; Greg Chappell with 7,659; yes, Mahatma Gandhi with 6,647; General Musharraf with 1,362; and the Big B with 1,410.

Psychiatrist Sameer Parekh feels that such communities have become popular as they appeal to our hatred for certain things. Very true, but why would anybody hate Mahatma Gandhi and even have the audacity to start a hate group dedicated to him?

“People have certain amount of hatred, dislikes and complexities and they get a chance to express it on such communities. But, there are very few people who give importance to such things. They reinforce your point of view and you join them without giving much thought,” explained Parekh.

It is one thing to start a community to express common dislikes about regular things in life. Such groups even have a humorous tone. But, it’s another issue altogether when communities on the Internet hurt the sentiments of others.
Social networking sites are thus coming up with new methods to prevent the abuse of communities on the Web.

A Google spokesperson said,
“We take the abuse fo Orkut seriously and are constantly developing new tools to review inappropriate content on the site. Orkut users can report content to our reviewers by clicking the ‘report as bogus’ button. There are also tools for community owners to delete posts or topics, ban users and delete anonymous posts.”

“But, at the same time, we put a certain amount of trust in our users to notify us of violations. We have also introduced a priority reporting tool. It makes life easier for the police to contact us when they get concerns about content on Orkut,” the Google spokesperson added.

So, it is evident that measures ARE being taken to check the misuse of social networking sites such as Orkut, but regulating such communities is what still remains a problem. However, a group that came to my notice on Orkut entitled “We Hate Caste Feeling” is something acceptable in times like ours.

A Genius Thought and an End to Scrap Flooding on Orkut ?

Finally we are seeing an end to scrap flooding on orkut. The race is now over. Orkut kept changing their codes, disabling the effect of the flooders which were updated again and again. Now, A simple but genius thought has put and end to all this. Now, if you flood your scraps beyond 100,000 they will now be shown as 100,000+ . So the hardwork of all those heroes who were in a race of the top scrap holders has finally come to an end.You can have a look at the screen shot to get an perfect idea.

Whats Next?The brave men on orkut are revolting against this new feature and putting forward their points. You can catch the whole (revolt) discussion at the orkut help group and here is something official, which orkut guide had to say replying to the strong opposition of the feature

Official Word from Orkut Guide:
Thanks to everyone for their input. Seems like a hot issue since eventhose who haven't reached the limits are writing in. As Rakesh et almentioned, we've put this limit in place to help curb automatedspamming on the site (which is against our Terms of Service and canalso have consequences for email servers, etc.).
But don't worry! You'll still get scrap notifications based on yourpersonal settings, you can see new scraps when you visit yourscrapbook, or you can always delete old or duplicate scraps to getbelow the 100,000 mark.

How to Get Orkut Certification, Medal or a Star?

First of all, let us have a look at what orkut has to say on this:
orkut.com began issuing virtual medals a few years ago to show that certain profiles were orkut-certified. The orkut team recently started granting them to recognize certain users' contributions on our orkut Help Group. If you haven't visited our Help Group yet, check it out! It's a great place to post questions and info about orkut.

Note: Medals are issued or removed by the orkut team at our discretion. We will not add them to profiles upon request.

So, you just need to be active in the orkut help group. Help the members with their questions and pray that orkut recognizes your work and grant you the Orkut Star as they did to Nabeel KhanNote: You May or May NOT get the orkut certified profile as it is purely the wish of orkut staff, so kindly dont held us responsible if your hardwork doesn't pay off.

Customize Your Communities - Decide What You Want on The Homepage of Your Community!

Looks as if orkut is on a roll, firstly allowing formatting in the community description and now this feature। This new feature allows you to customize your community and you decide what you want to display on the home page. Have a look at the screenshot, you will get an perfect idea.

Official Word From Orkut :-

We realize, however, that keeping tabs on unwanted messages can become a burden, especially if the community is large and popular. To help you more efficiently manage your communities, we've added settings which allow you to remove any sections of the community that you don't need. You can access these settings from the edit profile page of your community. For instance, if you happen to own a large community for the purpose of discussion, you may want to disable events if no one uses it. Or if you own a community around an election, perhaps you wish to have only polls and not bother with a forum or events. If you'd like to keep all of the community features, but not clutter up the front page, you can hide them and just make them visible from the navigation. We'd like to give you all the options we can to help make managing them as easy as possible. - Read More

• To Access this feature, navigate to your community
• Choose the edit option
• Have a look at the lower end of the options to find this feature।
• That is all :o)

This is another beautiful feature by orkut. If you love to write in Hindi, you would relish this one. Now, you have the option to automatically convert your scraps from English to Hindi without any fuss.

From the Official Orkut Blog :-

Hinglish, the usage of both Hindi and English words in the same sentence, is an extremely popular form of communication in India - so much so that the venerable Oxford English dictionary now recognizes this as an official English word! And orkut's popularity in India means that a lot of scraps between friends are written this way.
Wouldn't it be fun if your Hinglish scraps automatically showed up in the native script, Devanāgarī ? Now we provide you with an easy way to do exactly that! - Read More

So, in order to have this feature, you need to add hindi in your list of languages and you will see a feature for hindi conversion, as shown in screenshots above.
