***Unlimited Photos at Orkut
Orkut
is the most popular social networking website, next only to myspace. In the orkut
profile the user can only upload 12 photos. But now you can show unlimited number of
photos using the Flickr RSS Feed option. However you can do so also with the
feed of Picasa. Actually this method can be used for any
image hosting service which supports RSS photo-feed.

The process if very simple ::

In your orkut profile, on the left site, click on “edit feeds”.
Now you will find a URL box, in which you have to enter the address of the RSS feed of your image hosting service like Flickr, Picasa etc.
Make and find yours on your flickr home page.
On Submitting and verifying the code, you will find your snaps on orkut.

* Adding images
Copy and paste urls ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.jpg

* Adding videos from YouTube and Google Video
Copy and paste the url and the video will appear in the scrap.
for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoid
* Adding podcast/audio Copy and paste the url of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap. for example, http://example.com/example.mp3
* Adding html-embeddable objects Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends. banana

Secret Writings in Orkut

I came across the tip some time back which will allow you to write scraps in reverse order... more like mirror image llits quite common now but Still
write this code at the beginning of the scrap without quotes
"&#8238"

Do you know that...

You can see where all of your orkut friends are located by checking out the new "friends map" feature. This feature combines Google Maps and orkut profiles to let you see where all of your friends live around the world. To see the "friends map," just follow these steps:
1. Click the "view friends" link in the "my friends" box on your orkut homepage.
2. Click the "friends map" tab at the top of the page.
You can click on a friend’s profile picture to see their location on the map. Please know that if we don't have map data for a particular region or if your friend chose not to put their location in their orkut profile, you'll see a message "(not on map)" below their profile name.
You can also click on the "tiny little blue men" to see your friends' locations. By clicking on one of these figures, a bubble will pop open to let you know which friend lives in that location.
