Orkut Gets A New Look

Google has added new features to its social networking site Orkut to gain a momentum in today’s networking business.

According to Google, Orkut has been revamped by modifying its user interface. So the homepage has been made faster and easy to use.

Google India Head Vinay Goel said, "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,"

Among the other modifications, uploading photos will now be easy and there are other features like video chat, automatic face detection and scroll down option to view the friends in the same page.

"We have about 80-100 million users globally and India is the second leading market for Orkut after Brazil. India is a crucial market and we would continue to drive innovation for all our products," Goel said.

Google said that the new version would be available in coming weeks.
