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.

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 ???

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 ... :D
If u want privacy, then why not to go for e-Mails ???
