Of late Google has released the much required enhancement for Orkut – “The Open Social Applications” for its Indian users, who constitute about 10% of its total user base. Though Google has not explicitly given any time frame for the availability of this feature for its Non Indian users, it is shortly believed to be made available. Developers can create social applications for Orkut on their own using the popular Open Social API provided by Google. This is sure to make Orkuting more exciting & and also it has opened the door for having unlimited & customizable features in the days to come.
Even though Orkut has established itself as the leading Social networking site, it was way behind Facebook when it comes to open social applications. But, addition of this new feature has certainly enabled Orkut to compete with its emerging rival Facebook. Well, the battle just seems to have begun. Let’s hope for the best to win.
Here is the video demo of Orkut Apps.
