Orkut Tip: How to post to Orkut and Google+ at the same time

Hi all,

We hope you are enjoying the cool new features we launched last week. However, we know it can be difficult to keep 2 social products updated at the same time. If only there was a way to post to Orkut and Google+ at the same time.

Well, there is!

With the new Google Bar in Orkut, you can not only check your Google+ notifications but also use the Google+ share box to post to your Google+ circle.

But how can I post to Orkut too?

Easy! If you have linked your Orkut and Google+ account, you can automatically share your public Google+ posts to Orkut. To enable that, just follow these simple steps:

1.     Go to Orkut settings, under the gear icon.

2.     Click on the Google+ tab.

      3.     Select the box "If I share a post on Google+ publicly, also post it on Orkut".

      4. Your Orkut stream will look like this:

Please note that you must have previously linked your Orkut and Google+ profiles to be able to do this.
