Orkut has in the last 24 hours added some new features and this list features one of the most requested feature that many have been waiting for, that of being able to delete multiple scrap’s at one go.
Here are a list of new features that I was able to notice today:
- Option to select multiple scrap’s at a time and deleting them.
- Option of being able to view either 10/20/30 scraps at a time.
- A new Reply button for each scrap means that you can reply to scraps from your scrap book itself. This was a a feature which was until now enjoyed by firefox users with the Orkut ScrapEasy extension.
- Now one can choose to get friend requests from everyone or only from people that speak the languages that one has set in the profile.
- In the messages sent to communities, i now find an option to ‘Ignore this person’, which means you can block messages from reaching you when the ignored person posts to the community.
- Here is something which i have not tried but may be of help if more coverage of India is done in Google Earth, visit http://www.orkut.com/Map.aspx when you are logged in to Orkut.
Though these may not represent all the changes that may have been performed, I am still wondering why Orkut does not have any mention of these in the ‘news’ of the site. Strange!.

That scrap reply feature is good, but the thing is that once you reply to a scrap and then reload the page just after that, your reply gets scribbled in the persons scrapbook twice and this is a very very easy way to scam people you see.
Hope Orkut solves this thing out…
Maybe its only in Opera but I will try to find out about it using Firefox and IE.
Anyways, nice blog!

@ Falak, Yes the refresh is creating serious problems, many people are facing problems with multiple scraps of the same text, coz each time the person who scrapped refresh’s his/her scrapbook, the reply is posted again. Orkut are u listening?
