hello there! if you're new here and like what you read, you may want to grab the rss feed so you can always be up to date. thanks for visiting!

a majority of the features offered by most social networking sites (facebook is an exception because of f8) are identical, so what really separates one from another is the intuitiveness and usability of the user interface. and the lack of a well-designed user interface was exactly the reason why i signed up for orkut and gave up on it after 15 minutes of use. now, orkut is finally getting a redesign that might bring it out of web 0.5.

Just as you change your profile picture to keep with the times, we’re updating the look of orkut. The change isn’t live yet, but starting soon, we will start rolling-out the new look. To start, we will roll it out to a small group of users randomly selected, and will continue to do so until everyone is on the new site. We’ll tell you a little more each day, so come back to the blog to get a few sneak peeks.
