<description>We on the orkut team love talking to our friends online, but there are also plenty of times when we'd really like to hang out with them in person. To make it easier for you to get together with old friends and meet new ones, we've added an events tool to orkut. To create an event, just click the "events" button on the left side of your home page or profile. After you choose a creative title for your party/meeting/hot-dog eating contest and pick a good time for it to start,</description>

<title>Keeping orkut beautiful</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12335</link>
<description>One of the coolest things about social networking is that it lets all different kinds of people come together and express their unique personalities and interests. Most of the time this is positive, helping people around the world make new friends and learn new things. However, any time lots of different people interact, there are bound to be some differences in opinion as to what kinds of things are appropriate. With these concerns in mind,</description>

<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10978</link>
<description>We are constantly working to make your orkut experience better, and while this includes adding new, useful features on the site, like new search features and support for applications , it also includes improving your experience when you are not logged-in to orkut.com. Recently we released a better orkut experience for your smartphone, and now you'll see snazzier emails from orkut. We decided it was time to change our emails to give them a look and feel more like orkut.</description>

<description>Posted by Ellen Spertus , Research Scientist A question came up in the orkut trends community : What is the distribution of orkut users among the different states in the US? Here's a peek into where US orkuters come from. All 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are represented. The #1 state is my adopted home (and that of so many other US Googlers), California, with 20% of US orkuters. Next comes the great state of New York (11%), and then two southern states ,</description>

Since, we've added ways for users to upload photos and post videos, include friend updates on user homepages, and send and receive scraps.

That's right, 2/5ths of a decade ago, orkut launched. It has grown up pretty fast, with many more features, communities, friends and photos since it first opened as an invite-only community.</description>

<description>Posted by Ellen Spertus , Research Scientist and Torsten Nelson , Software Engineer When orkut launched, we had no idea that scrapbooks would be the primary way members would interact. Billions of scraps later, we've learned that scraps are a huge hit, and have added ways to make them even more fun by enabling you to add videos, photos and HTML. We've been wondering (and perhaps you have too): Which orkut users are scrappiest? In our recent sample,</description>

The orkut team responded quickly, and worked late into the night to fix the underlying issue and contain the spread of these scraps.</description>

While catching up is wonderful, planning a party can be a pain. Here's how orkut can help: Scraps make easy invitations : Paper is overrated, and who knows street addresses anymore? Rather than printing and sending paper invites, make a colorful invite in Photoshop or Paint and post it in your friends' scrapbooks as an invitation.</description>

Well, mostly from you. Yes, it was all of you who sent us the enormous amount of suggestions about how to make orkut even better. For example, one of the top suggestions we've received was regarding the photo album. Of course, 12 photos weren't enough for you to showcase all the photos of your friends,</description>

<description>Posted by Jude Britto , Software Engineer There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you find someone on orkut that you've lost touch with for a while. We've been working on ways to make this a more common occurrence. 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?</description>

<description>Posted by Scott Kirkwood , Software Engineer We all love receiving scraps, but constantly checking back to your scrapbook page can be tedious. How many of us have our scrapbook page open and are clicking refresh on it constantly! With scrap notices you can be on any orkut page and find out that you have received a scrap - that very minute. You could be browsing your friend's photos, and find out "hey! I just got a new scrap.</description>

<description>Posted by Ellen Spertus , Research Scientist, and Torsten Nelson , Software Engineer In our first column , we reported how orkut users rated their beauty by continent. In a poll in the orkut trends community , 69% of you said that you'd like to see the per-country ratings (while 21% said they already know their country has the most beauties). Interestingly, almost all of the comments about beauty were by men commenting on women. We aim to please, so here are the results.</description>

<description>Posted by Anisha Malhorta , Software Engineer A couple months ago, we announced that you could add HTML or links to your friends' scrapbooks so that they could enjoy photos, videos or other rich content.

In order to make it simpler to add photos,</description>

<description>Posted by Robin Norvell, orkut Operations Team Many orkut users (and a number of our engineering and operations staff) are celebrating the festival of Diwali this week. Never one to miss an important occasion, orkut wanted to find a unique way to recognize this national holiday. In India, lots of people pass around sweets and snacks to celebrate. In keeping with this tradition, here's something new and 'sweet' when you log in: just in time for the annual festival of lights,</description>

<description>Posted by Filipe Lima , orkut Operations Team These days many users' accounts can be compromised through social engineering techniques such as phishing schemes or malicious scripts and programs guised as being legitimate, and lose their usernames and passwords. Here is a simple guide to keep your account secure: The orkut team will never ask for your username and password, if you receive an email asking for those details don't give them to anyone; it wasn't sent by us.</description>

<title>Ask Friends - Share, plan, communicate with friends</title>

<description>Posted by Shivaram Venkataraman , Software Engineer It was party time the other day when we launched SMS Search in India. We have a team with diverse tastes and opinions; finding a restaurant to satisfy all was an unenviable task that somehow landed on my plate. In a fit of inspiration, I decided to use the new orkut feature we had launched just recently, it was time to test its potential to help me ask questions of friends who knew my tastes and preferences.</description>

<description>Posted by Sanjay Ramakrishnan , Product Marketing Manager Communication, social interaction, networking - these are concepts and experiences as old as the mountains but something here seems to indicate that the times they are a changing! When orkut was recognized as the MTV Youth Icon of 2007 a couple months ago, it was a great testimonial from the youth of India as to how much the spirit of free expression and exchange really means to them.</description>

<title>Say no to hoax messages!</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=332</link>
<description>Posted by Nadine Sequeira , orkut Operations Team We hate hoax emails! For example: have you received a message that claims Diana, the director of Orkut, has asked you to forward the message to your friends so we don't shut down your account due to an overload? Or that orkut is going to start charging for accounts unless you appear to be an active user by forwarding the message? Or maybe you have received an email from someone claiming to be Google and asking for money?</description>

<description>Posted by Arijit De , Software Engineer There is no doubt that the best thing about orkut is the people you meet on it. Communities provide a great medium for people to come together and share ideas using features like forums, polls and events. 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,</description>

<description>Posted by Natalie Schwartz , Associate Product Marketing Manager Several weeks ago, we announced that we'd expanded the orkut album size to 25 pictures. And last week, we quietly launched double the space, and now you can have up to 100 photos in your orkut album! Not many of you have caught on to this yet, so we thought we'd let you know here. For now, that's it, twice as much space for you to share more pics of your family, friends, travels, or whatever else you like! And,</description>

<title>Getting too many emails from orkut?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=335</link>
<description>Posted by Eduardo Thuler , Product Manager I am. Though I'm happy to receive emails when I get a new scrap or someone is requesting friendship, lately it seems every orkut friend is sending emails to "all friends" - which turns into a whole lotta email! So we've made some changes which will hopefully decrease the unwanted messages and help you direct email just to the friends you want. Here's a summary of what's new. Until now,</description>
