Now protect you album, videos, testimonials from being viewed by everyone out there on orkut! There are two privacy options:
1. Friends
2. Everyone

Hmm, Orkut may not be giving 100% privacy, but they respect privacy and give importance to that too. That is why these new options. Sure they help - yes upto certain extend. And no one need 100 % privacy these days, I mean in internet-social-networking.

If you want internet social networking then don't expect 100% privacy.
