Two weeks ago,
we announced that we are preparing a visual upgrade to Orkut's interface. We have just started to roll it out to a small percentage of users, so some of you might start to see it. Right now, we are only upgrading those who are using new Orkut, but if you are in the old interface, please do give it a try when we complete the transition!
In addition, we are happy to announce a new feature today that we hope you will "like":
Just as we add different smileys in emails, scraps and chat, we recognize that you likely have different reactions to your friends' stories. Here are a few you might recognize from Google Chat, and in addition, you can find extra "smileys" if you type in the right code in the comment field.
Feel free to follow us on our official blog (
en.blog.orkut.com) and the official community at
www.orkut.com/orkut Give our "like?" feature a try today and see just how diverse your friends are in their reactions. Rock on, Orkut users!
