Orkut hit by feed mania
Got an orkut teaser from my friend this morning. Logged in to orkut & saw a b/w feeds button on the left. Clicked on edit feeds button, did the captcha & voila … got my flickr and delicious feeds on the orkut profile page. Nice and simple. I must say this is one of the coolest feature orkut has added till date. Unlike the videos feature, this time they have no restriction on the feeds which can be added. The add video feature ion orkut is still restricted to youtube & google videos.
The native rss button on the left says edit feeds, but all what it allows to do is add & delete feeds. The feeds are visible to all the people who can see your profile. It would be nice if they define access levels for feeds. Something like restrict the feeds to friends or certain groups. But to start off… Its a real nice feature. How about getting some meshed up feeds from Yahoo! pipes.
Now thats what I call social networking.
