Some Orkut users are getting an error when they try to send friend requests. This error message says Adding friends Service is temporarily Disabled. This problem can occur when you try to send too many friend requests in a short duration of time. Once you are blocked, you will have to wait for about one week before you can send new friend requests.
When I checked Orkut help regarding this topic, I came to know that Orkut had set a limit to curb spam and viruses.
Here is a very cool application Twitkut, developed by Ankit Ahuja. Twitkut displays your recent tweets on your Orkut profile page. It also shows you which of your friends are using Twitkut so that you can follow them. It can also shows you combined recent tweets so you don’t have to follow them separately on Twitter.
To add this application to your Orkut page, simply navigate to Twitkut Application Page and add this application to your profile.
Orkut has just released a new theme for New Year 2009. I just noticed it now when I logged into my Orkut account. I was looking for a theme for new year from the time when they released a nice theme on the occasion of Christmas.
Do you often get irritated of CAPTCHA while posting clickable links to scraps in Orkut ? Frankly speaking I’m completely bored with this thing. But now we have a solution for this. Now you can post links without any CAPTCHA.
Orkut has added another security feature. Now you can choose whether other users can find you using your email address or not. I think its a good feature for those who are fed up of fake friend requests. I noticed this new feature in my Orkut profile yesterday.
This new feature has two options – One is “Allow people to find me” and Second one is “Don’t allow people to find me”. By default it is set to first one.
