I recently logged into my Orkut account, it had almost been a fortnight. With Facebook around Orkut is really useless. Once in my account, what I have before me is an amateurish mix of Facebook and Twitter. It disgusted me. The new layout of Orkut and the color theme were absolutely horrendous. I could not believe that Orkut has started to looks so cheap. Orkut seems like a spammy community when you log into it.

Instead of Farmville and Mafia Family of Facebook, all Orkut could manage was a low-engagement flash game -
TURBO SPIRIT XT GOLD. The game was depressing to say the least.

The new Orkut also gives you a cheesy color palette to modify the primary colors in your dashboard. Instead of names of your recent visitors in your profile, now you will have their thumbnails shown. All these stupid new features kind of bleached my enthusiasm that Orkut will get more interesting. Orkut can be a social network for kids under 13, but not for mature people.

Or so I thought.

Because when I looked around,the world seemed to function properly. All people were normal about this change and went about scrapping and orkut-”ting”. So I decided to ask all you guys, were you not shocked at the new look of Orkut?
