A 2012 full of news about Orkut communities

Posted on 8:21 AM by Unknown
Over the last months we have been working hard to introduce major improvements to Orkut communities.

Today we are offering a single page to organize all your communities where you can check all of the new topics. You can also check your pending membership requests and easily unjoin the communities you are a member of.



For the moderators, this page is also a community management center where they can approve or reject pending membership requests. We redesigned the approval process and now they can approve all pending members at once with a single click. Simple and faster!



It is now time to make the improvements available to all Orkut users and offer everyone the same experience:

  • Modern and smart design with new community profile, where you can also post videos 
  • With automatic reply updates, the topics became big chat rooms! It's no longer necessary to refresh the topic page to check the updates, they'll appear automatically 
  • Quickly reply to topics and polls with a single click 
  • Want to comment to a specific reply in a topic? Just use "Quote" to get your comment clearer and simpler 
  • Express your opinion by liking a topic. To do that, use to 11 different emoticons - and you may even find some hidden emoticons ;-) 
  • Follow all your favorite communities e check all new topics from one single place: never loose a topic again! 
  • Check who is writting: profile photos on topics, polls and replies 
  • Coloured and funny view mode of polls results 
  • Improvements to community owners and moderators: they can now manage their communities and close topics with unwanted discussions or reopen it later

Starting today, all Orkut users will have the same community interface and the same functionalities, ensuring that everyone can share ideas and express themselves in an improved way.

How about it? Wait, there's more: today we are also releasing a new version of the Orkut Android app with communities, so you keep updated on all the discussions, wherever you are.



We hope you like it! And don't forget to send us your feedback!.
