What is orkut scrap book and how is it useful?
The Orkut scrap book is a kind of offline chatting. You can scrap a person even if he is offline. The person to whom the scrap is sent will be able to see it when he visits his scrapbook. Contrary to personal messaging or email, scrap book entries are public, meaning that any one with an orkut account can read others scraps. Earlier if a person had to reply to the scrap he had to visit the person's profile then go to his scrapbook then scrap him. However, recently Orkut changed it by adding a feature by which one can reply to a scrap from their scrapbook itself. I wouldn't say it is as useful as email or im, but it's a great way to be a part of a big online community and make new friends.
Reply:Orkut is an Internet social network service run by Google and named after its creator, Google employee Orkut B眉y眉kk枚kten. It claims to be designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships. Similar to Friendster and MySpace, Orkut goes a step further by permitting the creation of easy-to-setup simple forums (called "communities") of users. Since October 2006 , Orkut permits users to create accounts without an invitation. In April 2007, Orkut introduced polls in communities.[1]
