Finding Commonality in Communities

Posted by Patrick Barry, Software Engineer

Since orkut communities are all about the idea that everyone has something in common with everyone else, we've made it a little easier to see these shared interests. We just launched a feature I built that will show you which communities you have in common with other orkut members. To check it out, go to anyone's orkut profile, click on the "view all" button below their communities, and then go to the new tab on this page, "mutual communities."

Maybe you'll find that some of your friends have some interests that you never realized you shared -- or a stranger you come across is just a little less strange.
