Many of my reader friends are repeatedly asking me how to change from some country specific domains of orkut like orkut.co.in, orkut.com.br  to ORKUT.COM. Before learning how to change this. Lets have a look at the advantages and disadvantages of changing from one to other.

Advantages:

1. orkut.com loads faster than orkut.co.in or orkut.com.br.

2. If some of your friends give you Orkut.com links, then your browser will frustrate in changing them to ur .co.in or .com.br.

3. Grease Monkey scripts will work for ur orkut.com pages. (since majority are written for .com)

Disadvantages:

1. In ur orkut search results, you wont get ur country specific results as .com is universal.

2. If any one send you some .co.in or .com.br link, the same browser will get frustrated.

Its very easy to migrate from .com.br or .co.in to .com . How???

How to change ??

• Go to the bottom of your page. (See the above screenshot.)
• Here Click on “Go to Orkut.com”
• You Are Done!!

I have been observing some important changes in the orkut lately. I could still remember the orkut in 2005 when it is fairly new to everyone. All we get was just a profile page with some no restrictions communities, but now orkut has many Api interfaces and mashups taking place.

To say in a marketing point of view, orkut has evolved from its web1.0 structure to web2.0 structure. It has got ajax forms, applications, events, restrictions on scrapbooks, albums as required by the individual and many more.

Now, orkut has also thought of taking care about the offensive content in profiles, communities etc. As a result the following feature is added recently about the Offensive content.

The above image is an example of a warning about an offensive profile.

So friends, lets rock orkutting and keep checking this site for new updates.

Thank you,

Yesterday i felt bored a bit and i was going through orkut, then some thing caught my eye. thats nothing but the game chess in orkut. i played it and got confused initially. but later i got addicted to it .

That was really a cool game. and interestingly the wins and losses in that are counted and added to ur score. I thought of remvoing the application from my orkut profile to get rid of losses that i made in confusion. But no use. so be careful. what ever u play will effect your score.

How to add chess to your profile??

Like many other Applications out there on orkut, adding the game chess is very easy. All you have to do is, just cick on the add apps in the left side of orkut profile and it.
