Orkut’s revamped look is the talk of the town. It has decided to woo back it’s users from Facebook, one of its toughest competitors, by adding a horde of new features.

Besides a new look, it has a UI or homepage which is much easier and faster to use as the user does not have to open new pages to view videos or post scraps.

Video chatting along with Google chat is in, while you scroll down to look for more friends on line.

Around 30 million photos are uploaded daily on Orkut. To encash on this, Google has introduced a host of exciting features with a view to generate more traffic.

With the introduction of features like photoslider, sharing your most cherished moments with friends has become much easier as photographs can be uploaded much faster and in bulks.

The new Orkut is initially not open to all. It will be shared with selected users only through invitation. But soon it shall be made available to other users as well.

At present Orkut has around 80 to 100 million users all over the globe. Orkut, being the second largest market after Brazil, has plunged in this most competitive networking business, with this changed look to lure more of them.

“Orkut is a fun thing. It provides seamless experience to users,” said Rahul Kulkarni, Google product manager.
