Today morning my friend, Jinson pinged me to say that orkut changed its name to yogurt. Now is it an april fools trick ? Well, lucky that we are one day ahead of US.

This is one excellent trick to build your own fans community with lots of members. I have seen quite a few pull off this trick. And this increases your reputation among strangers, even though might some damage to your reputation among friends.
1. Start a genuine community, may be for your class, school or work group.
2. Publicize it among the target group.
3. Rename it to your Fans community.
Do comment your experiences.

Orkut adds private communities. By this communities can be private places where the owner has full control and only the members have access to the content inside. Now this is not surprise move from orkut. But what surprised me is the example they have given, as a usage scenario in their official blog.
“Have you ever thought of creating a community poll like “Who is the best teacher at your school?”, but stopped yourself from doing it because the teachers might actually see it?”
Now thats a nice move. Such powers of expression is really needed in the conservative Indian community. Id love to see teachers being rated by the students.
In delhi a school student was suspended for having posted a negative comment about a teacher in orkut. No such event must be repeated. Actuall, schools and colleges must empower students with tools and communication means so that they also can express themselves properly.

Today I saw orkut releasing another feature. Orkut Albums. Now the orkut photos can be categorized in to various albums. 
Now there is a small problem. I couldnt find any means to rearrange the existing photos.
