Google Finally Launches An Orkut Blog! (Or Two)

(Hat Tip: Googlified)

Despite taking an eternity, Orkut has finally decided to communicate their thoughts directly to the blogosphere, and the first post belongs to the founder himself, Orkut Buyukkokten.

(Orkut English Blog) It's been more than three years since orkut first launched and now, at last, here's a blog to go with it (better late than never, right?). We hope that this will be a great way for you to learn about what's new on orkut, and get to know the orkut team. Here you'll read about new features, get tips on using old ones, and hear stories about how we work and who we are.

In the past you've communicated with us via our Help Center and Group, but we have not communicated with you as much as we would have liked. Since this blog is for you, we'd love to know what you want, so please let us know.


Google has also launched a blog for Brazilians in Portugese, which is great as half of their users come from that region.

So far comments are not enabled (come on Google, even Blogger has opened up their comment section, at least one of them) although hopefully that will change in the near future.

Orkut seems to be using Blogger's custom domain platform as someone seems to have occupied Orkut.blogspot.com. You can find the real Orkut blogs over at blog.orkut.com (for Brazilians) and en.blog.orkut.com (for the rest of us).
