We hear you!

Posted by Viviana Agostinho, orkut Operations Team

2007 was a really good year for orkut. So many new features were launched! But where did these new ideas come from? Well, mostly from you. Yes, it was all of you who sent us the enormous amount of suggestions about how to make orkut even better.

For example, one of the top suggestions we've received was regarding the photo album. Of course, 12 photos weren't enough for you to showcase all the photos of your friends, family and travels to your orkut friends. So we worked hard to get enough storage space to bump that number up-- and now you can upload up to 100 photos! Another top suggestion was about privacy. We heard you tell us that you wanted to share your photos and scrapbooks with friends, but perhaps not with everyone on orkut. So we launched privacy settings for both album, scrapbook, videos and testimonials so that you can chose who you want to share your content with.

And how can you continue to change what you see us developing for orkut?

There are two different ways you can submit your suggestions. One is to visit our Suggestions Page, where you can select from some pre-defined suggestions that we hear often. The other one is to visit our Help Group and post any idea you have on the suggestions section. Either way, your voice will be heard.

Thanks for your suggestions, keep them coming and we look forward to continuing to take them into account!

Stay beautiful and happy holidays!
