Making conversations on Orkut easier

Posted on 6:14 AM by Unknown
Have you ever been surprised to learn that someone commented on a video you posted but you did not noticed it? Well, some of us have also been that and we wanted to fix it it.

Today we are launching four improvements for most Orkut users:

1. A new page called "conversations", which shows new scraps you get, new replies or comments to conversations you have participated on: videos you shared, scraps you’ve posted and photos you’ve commented on.

2. An indication of items you haven’t read yet. You’ll see a small box to the right of the labels “conversations”, “reminders” and “scraps”. Those will let you know that you should check those pages for updates. Once you enter the page you’ll see a small colored mark to the left of the items that you haven’t read yet. Simply opening those pages will automatically mark those items as read.

And, due to that, we are also making two small changes:

3. Bye, bye yellow ribbon on the top of the updates. As you saw, we resolved it with a much nicer solution.

4. We aren’t showing comments on scraps you sent in your scrapbook page anymore. You’ll be able to see them in your "conversations" page, which is private to you.

Those changes should reach all users in a few days. We really hope you like them!

Join the World Carfree Day!

Posted on 12:25 PM by Unknown
Since 1998, the World Carfree Day has been celebrated every September 22nd. All over the world, people leave their cars at home and gather together to claim attention from people to our life style.

To show our support to the cause and instigate yourself to join it, we created a special theme for tomorrow, the World Carfree Day:



So, what about planning yourself to leave your car at home, jump on your bike and ride it to the places you have to go? Public transportation is also part it. The idea is to live 24 hours without a car, and maybe realize that we don't really need it seven days a week ;)

So go ahead, install the theme, invite your friends to join, and be part of it!
