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 :

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.
