Post Orkut = Secure


Today i logged into my orkut account & noticed one thing.
Now when you open your scrapbook,you will get a security tip.Look for yourself.Tips to prevent abuses.
I don't think anyone will read it in first place & even if they read ,they will implement.

Default Re: Orkut = Secure

and another thing I noticed is that whenever I see my scrapbook and returns to HOME, my scraps number is decreased by one ....

Is anyone having same problem ???

BTW, Orkut is changing it's code more frequently. Isn't it ???

[QUOTE=Peter Parker]I don't think that Orkut gives that much privacy to user which is required...!


hi guys, i guess u forgot tht orkut is a social [& public] website, n every user knows tht wotever they r gonna post on their profile [text or images] is bound to be starred by their respective friends or any other passerby, users post their personal snaps TO SHARE..!!!! Hence no question of privacy... for privacy u hv ur own personal email accounts...

Thats what I want to tell that, ORKUT IS MADE TO SHARE !!!
And this is one of the reason which made orkut this much famous.
I think if u can't read other's scapbooks, u probably leave Orkuting after some days ...
If u want privacy, then why not to go for e-Mails ???
