Long time back me n Vijay tried to make a greasemonkey script which will show orkut in local time. That means if it worked successfully u could see scraps, community posts in local time n not in PST Timezone which orkut is was following! Well such script was there on userscripts.org but stopped working after orkuts last big code change around August 2007.
So am I giving u that script today? Well if u think so then u have not noticed that orkut has made this change alongwith new video integration in orkut! So u can see scraps, community posts all in ur time! Now u will get to know ur friends birthday at midnight!
This is already done for everyone. If u r accidentally or purposefully changed ur country on orkuts settings page, then all u need to do select ur right country!
Well I don’t think this will make any difference to most of the people as punctuality is rare quality now-a-dayz!
Happy Orkutting!
The discussion is on to the post made byLoren Baker, Editor
Here is an excerpt:
Danny Sullivan made a post today at Search Engine Watch quoting a USA Today piece on the alarming amount of Al-Qaeda fan groups in Google’s Orkut. Anytime one talks about Orkut the Brazilian phenomina is discussed which centers around why is Orkut so popular in Brazil?
Danny posted on Search Engine Watch after Google Analyst Day : My favorite part is probably the explanation of why Orkut only seems to be taking off in Brazil. Brazilians are just very community-oriented. What, all those crazy US kids jumping into MySpace like my niece don’t have a sense of community?
This is from Apple’s site:
iPhone combines three products a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.
Well how can such great technology go missing from Devils Workshop! So enjoi this short tour!
Below is first iphone image avilable:
Here is some live action from YouTube…
Well wanaa see and meet apple addicts! Here comes their blog. (I bet u’ll thank me for this 😉
And finally… Click here to visit Apple iPhones’ official site!
Unfortunately, your original account may in no way be able to have a long name in your profile.The only solution to this is to create a new account and then using a few scripts you can use long names in profiles(Up to 200 letters)
Now how to create this???
Just go ahead with jerry’s post (with screenshots)!
Yep… I found his second profile on orkut!
Well before going ahead lemme clear out base for my claim…
#Base:
On orkut community standard page, under Account Restrictions in line 11, it is written that…
“Only one account can be created for each person.”
Now…
#Proof:
1. Here is link to Orkut Buyukkokten’s orkut profile!
2. Now I came across another profile named Orkut Guy! This one seems to be official orkut helper and also this profile is Orkut certified!
3. Now check very first scrap in Orkut Guys Scrapbook which is by Adam says
“Admin. What a strange last name. But easier to spell and pronounced than Buyukkokten.”
4. Now in above line Admin may be pointing to Orkut Administartor Orkut Buyukkokten’s. Well there is more in that single line. What about last name field? Its Guy in this case and Adam also says its better than Buyukkokten.
5. Another point to be noted is about Adam – who is again orkut certified guy!
6. Now only doubt left about point 1, as the profile is not orkut certified. Well there is another trick to know permanant orkut membership number!
Wel here is screenshot of the page I’m talking about in point 3. 
#Verdict: Well you comment on it! 🙂
In last few weeks I have seen lots of fuss about orkut medals and some stupid GreaseMonkey Scripts to put orkut medal on ur profile! Well such scripts do put orkut medal on ur profile but as they are client-side scripts only U (and U) can see those medals!
I cleared out this point earlier to few of my friends on orkut, then again new rumor spread-off saying Orkut Medal indicates Royal Membership which is paid-subscription! Wel as long as Google is running orkut, I am sure that orkut wil never become paid service! Thats what Google’s “Don’t Be Evil!” Motto says!
Then what is truth and where it is! Wel Following is truth from orkut help …
Why are some people “orkut-certified”?The ‘orkut-certified’ symbol helps you identify which profiles are real. When you see that a profile has been ‘orkut-certified,’ you can be confident that we’ve verified the user’s identity and ensured that they’re following our Community Standards.
These symbols are issued by the orkut team on an as-needed basis and are not added to profiles upon request.
Here are links to few orkut profiles that have orkut medals!
On one of the Orkut help page, Orkut is listed some features alongwith a comment box to suggest new feature of ur own choice!
The page saying – “Please tell us which new features you’d like to see on orkut.com. If your favorite idea isn’t listed, just enter it in the box below. While we don’t reply to individual suggestions, we do review them all and will keep them in mind for future development.” is here.
Vote for ur favorite now!
Happy Orkutting!
