Read Your Orkut Scrapbook on Mobile Phones - m.orkut.com
Google has just launched a mobile version of Orkut at m.orkut.com - this new mobile site lets you read scraps, receive updates from existing friends plus you can approve or decline new friend requests.
You can also navigate the Orkut mobile using keypad shortcuts on your mobile phone like 3 for (F)riends, 7 for (S)crapbook, etc.
If you have no mobile phone, I still recommend checking out the mobile version of Orkut on your desktop as it sports a minimalist theme so the scrapbook looks very cleans, no like another MySpace page.
And don’t let your boss know about this - if the main website of Orkut is blocked in your office, there are chances that m.orkut.com could still be accessible.
Orkut mobile edition is slightly buggy but that shouldn’t be a problem considering that Google has not officially announced the site yet. Credits for discovering this secret Orkut mobile website go to the eagle-eyed Rahul, InsideOrkut and Haochi.

Will this take off?
I feel orkut itself is dead…too many networking sites and FB is picking up a lot.
Plus, someone who has GPRS on their phones,ideally would be working. Would such a person be all mad about checking orkut scraps??
I don’t think so.
Correct me if I’ wrong.
Nice watchful eye! There is also a low-bandwidth version for Orkut which they have silently crept into the interface. I have some details on my blog.
it is just an another option.. there r so many orkut junkies out there who would love this feature.. whenever he/she feels like using his orkut this feature comes handy :)
I agree with Nikhil. Isnt orkut basically dead already?
Whats the point of even spending money to make it mobile…
To me its a waste.
Nikhil,
I don’t feel orkut is dead..atleast in India.It’s the most popular social networking site among the users in India.You can’t expect a site so popular to receive the”MTv youth icon award 2007″ to detiorate so quickly.With many institutions blocking usage of Orkut on campus,GPRS would certainly be a good alternative for the youth to keep track of their account!…GPRS is not very costly too!!!.
Yes,I do agree that usage of FB,Myspace is growing but not at the death of Orkut,atleast now….
Thank you sir for credits! :-)
will truly be helpful
