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.
