Orkut Introduces Fully Integrated Chat Application

December 15th, 2008 We were the first to come out with the chat integration feature of orkut. But almost immediately I realized that it is going to be a big source of irritation for the users.

January 21st, 2009 Twitter and Orkut have attracted millions of people in the world into social networking. To each, its own.

December 20th, 2008 There is a very annoying feature at orkut now. You can not download any image file from Orkut directly from someone's album.

April 15th, 2009 The success of Orkut has been quite centralized within India, Brazil etc and most importantly, very unlike Google, it has never come out of its limitations. However, this may just be the start when Google takes things seriously with this massively popular social networking site used by millions of people, as Google starts its Google Latitude service (that lets you see your friends' locations and status messages and share yours with them.) in orkut.

November 12th, 2008 Now there is more to cheer for Gmail chatters. Google Inc has added a voice and video chat feature to its Gmail email service on Tuesday.

January 22nd, 2004 Google decided to jump into the social networking bandwagon with the launching of Orkut. Social networking can have a big impact on search engine results as the user's home pages on social networking sites such as Ryze & Friendster are closely connected to each other.

June 20th, 2006 A new Internet worm capable of stealing bank details and other personal data from users is circulating via Orkut, Google's social networking service, FaceTime Communications, Instant-messaging service provider, warned on Monday. FaceTime said its software security lab had detected the spread of the electronic virus, the third such threat to disseminate itself via messages posted on Orkut users' personal Web pages.

July 24th, 2005 Brazilian police arrested 10 people on Thursday accused of selling drugs using Google's international social networking site Orkut, which is hugely popular in the Latin American country. "We discovered the drug ring first via authorized phone tapping, and later the investigation included monitoring of their activities on the Internet," said a duty officer at the Drugs Enforcement Service in the city of Niteroi, just across the bay from Rio de Janeiro.

September 3rd, 2006 Now you can talk to me, if I am online*, directly from my blog. On the first sidebar you should see a small chat window which allows you to communicate with me in private.

January 20th, 2009 I am sure that you usually get at least one spam mail a day from Orkut. Even GMail which perhaps has the best filtering capability of spam mails, stands helplessly in front of such backdoor attacks.

September 24th, 2007 My public profiles on 9 popular social networking sites: LinkedIn - I have started adding my friends to this. Found some old IITians from this network.

October 22nd, 2005 Here are some amazing AJAX powered Web Services ranked as I like them. The list includes online word processor, spreadsheet, calendar, wiki and chat client.

January 29th, 2007 Now you can easily convert your .NET applications to Java / J2EE and run it on Linux or other Java enabled platforms directly from your Visual Studio .NET IDE. You can use your Visual Studio .NET IDE to build server applications that can run natively on J2EE and hence on Linux and other Java enabled platforms, with the help of Visual MainWin for J2EE from Mainsoft.
