New features for orkut scrapbook.

orkut has silently added a few nifty features to the scrapbook.

Now, you can paste in photos, videos, audio and flash widgets in scraps to your friends. Here's how:

Add images
Copy and paste URLs ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
for example, *example.com/example.jpg

Add videos from YouTube and Google Video
Copy and paste the URL and the video will appear in the scrap.
for example, *youtube.com/watch?v=videoid

Add podcast/audio
Copy and paste the URL of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap.
for example, *example.com/example.mp3

Add html-embeddable objects
Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends.

Enjoy!

Didnt get u mate????????
u mean this feature works only with ur frnd who are on ur profile list???????
nope mate......... nothing like that ....
anyway these features were old , with greasemonkey and JS we used to send snap and even flash movies...
its good to allow for all users... and no need for Mozila

coz of greasemonkey

hey nice features but i still cant send scraps using opera mini tru mobile :sad:

That, I guess, is a problem that Opera will have to fix, not Google.

That's a relief. It wasn't there when I posted this thread but it has been added now. Thanks for pointing it out!

I now wish they wouldn't require you to enclose smiley codes in straight brackets and allow full BB codes in the scrapbook. An updated list of smilies would be quite welcome too.

nice features

thanks for sharing

Thanks for the info.
Do they fixed the CSS bug?

@aryayush

Thank you man, much appreciated. Didn't know these features before. Will check em all.

yea i did saw something written in the scrap box but din knew what it was untill yet

A big "mention not" to everyone who's gone through the immense pain and labour involved in thanking me! I appreciate you guys taking the time, putting your lives on the line and thanking a person. Cheers!

Orkut just revamped itself .. anew and soothing cooler look ... pretty much like the 1 phpbb3 has ... rounded corners smaller fonts and i think they have also implemented some web 2.0 features in the profile page

only somewhat competition orkut has is from myspace but then again myspace is more region(read USA) centric

Refreshing the page normally fixes the issue though.

Is it due to load on server?
In fropper there is also same error,but it comes very rarely.
