Google adds new features to its Social Network Orkut
Internet search giant, Google Inc. has come up with new look for its social networking website Orkut by introducing additional user friendly features.
The move is apparently aimed to woo more users and beat the challenges posed by rivals Facebook and other social networking websites.
The firm claims that the new appearance would provide better user interface besides giving easy and speedy access to the site. Video scraps would also be possible from now onwards in addition to text scraps.
Google India Head (Products) Vinay Goel explained, “With the new user interface (UI), the user does not have to visit each page for viewing videos, or say posting scraps. He gets to see all updates and respond to his friends from the homepage itself."
The new changes would allow users to speedily upload their photos, video chat and other such features on the same homepage.
Google boasts of having around 80-100 million users across the world. Brazil is the leading market for Orkut followed by India. Rahul Kulkarni, Google Product Manager, added, "Orkut is a fun thing. It provides seamless experience to users."
