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

Posted on 1:01 PM by Unknown

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.

If you have any questions about Orkut, please visit Orkut Help Forum.

If you have any questions about Google+, please visit Google+ Help Forum.

Interesting Google+ content on your Orkut profile

Posted on 12:56 PM by Unknown
There are a lot of cool things happening on Google+. Celebrities, companies and personalities have been using the platform to share their updates, photos and videos. It's high quality content that might also interest you, Orkut user.

That's why we've launched a new feature called "You might like on Google+": on this section, we'll show you Google+ pages and profiles that may interest you. These suggestions are based on your Google+ circles and your Orkut friends.



If the "You might like on Google+" feature doesn't appear on your profile it's because we need an "extra push" to determine your interests. Just circle some new people on Google+ and the suggestions will come!
