24th Jan was a big day for Orkut – The social networking is now 6 years old! Orkut may not be among the top social networking sites in the online world but still it rules many hearts in India and Brazil and other parts of the world, having about 80 million members! Now thats huge!
Since many years, Orkut is in beta stage (just like any other Google service) and Google has been experimenting with the user interface to make it easier like introducing a mobile application, integrating Video Chat (through gTalk) and much more!
A significant change in their user interface design was seen some days back which have divided the orkut members into two groups – The ones who love the new design and the ones who hate it! This situation is just like Facebook!
Heres a screenie of the changed design and old design :-
Old Design :
Orkut's Old Design
New Design :
Orkut's New Design
Maybe they were trying to make it something very simple like Facebook but the new design takes too much time to load as compared to the previous one although it has some nice transitions like the Friend suggestion box. But still, I too Hate It!
