Google has recently given users the ability to hide their Orkut albums, videos and even testimonies from public view. This is great news, especially for girls as it will help prevent morons from stealing their images and cloning them on Orkut.
In order to activate this users will have to visit the "Privacy Tab" which can be accessed by visiting this link:
http://www.orkut.com/PrivacySettings.aspx
Next, scroll down towards the bottom of the page until you see the "allow content to be viewed by" text.
You will notice two columns, one with drop menu's and the other simply listing the features you can hide from public view.
Simply select whether you want your albums, video's and testimonies to be viewed by friends or to the world.
This move should help keep down "image theft" on Orkut, and teamed up with the scrapbook privacy settings should make Orkut a much safer place online.
Note: I would HIGHLY recommend ladies on Orkut to make your albums, video's and testimonies private, as the last thing you want is some creep trying to figure out your fashion tastes are, not to mention what your friends say about you.
