What happened to Orkut

Orkut was simple, plain and nice. I liked it the way it was. It wasnt like all those Beta Sites trying to do too many things at one go.

And then, the magicians rather product managers from Google came, said Abracadabra - changed it.

Now, the look is still like the Old one, but not quite like that. It feels more cramped. When I look at Orkut now, my profile feels claustrophobic, cluttered. I have no words to say.

No, its not the fact about taking time to get used to all of this. If it did not appeal the first time, then its probably not going to at all.

And today, there are other features. Like who updated and what was updated. This is a copy from Facebook.

The most innovative company of today has started copying now?

but facebook was the pioneer i guess. even though it looks so cluttered, it has allowed a number of third parties to integrate. orkut is now realizing the problem. very late indeed.
