Latest Update from your orkut Friends

Posted on 8:42 AM by Unknown
Posted by Viviana Agostinho, orkut Operations Team

In the last week or so, you've probably noticed one major change on your orkut homepage: there is now a box displaying updates from your friends. With this feature you can take a peek at what your friends are doing on orkut. Has someone uploaded a new photo? Added a video? Changed their favorite movies? You can easily see in the "Updates from my friends," list. As always, we've received a lot of feedback on this feature, and we're psyched that most of you are finding it a helpful way to stay up on the latest from your orkut friends.

However, we did get feedback from some of you that your friend updates were preventing you from seeing the birthday list, which was pushed lower on the page. So we've put the birthday list back on top, so you won't miss the party. Some of the traditionalists among you have told us that this box is cluttering up your homepage. Personally, we welcome this friend-update clutter, but if you'd rather not have it there, you can now go to "settings" and uncheck the box next to "updates from my friends" to remove it from your homepage. If still want to check out your friends updates (just not see them every time you log in), you can click on the new "Updates" link in the left navigation under your profile picture.

These improvements could not be possible without your awesome and prompt feedback. So keep it coming: join the help group and share your suggestions to make orkut a better place!
