Orkut has been tweaking and adding new features from time to time, some of the most awaited features included adding images and videos in the orkut scraps, or in short sending multimedia scraps. And at last orkut has come with something like that, now you can easily make your scrap multimedia and you don’t even need to re-invent the wheel for that.

Adding images to orkut scraps

Copy and paste urls ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap. For example, http://abcdegf.com/xyz.jpg . orkut will automatically parse these links into the live images. I think this feature might make orkut more ugly. But still, that was awaited from long back.

Adding videos from Youtube and Google Videos

Copy and paste the url and the video will appear in the scrap. For example, http://youtube.com/watch? v=xbfgs78 > Google is way too smart, they are integrating all their tols together. Though google videos has been off’ed now.

Adding sound files and songs

Copy and paste the url of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap. For example, http://abcdegh.com/xyzpqr.mp3. I liked this feature the most.

Adding html-embeddable objects to orkut

Um.. not sure too many people wil be able to utilize this feature because the HTML people is only limited. Nice feature for web savvy orkutters by the way. You just need to paste the html embed code in orkut scraps to share it with your friends.

Its been quite a few months now when Yahoo Tracker was launched. It has seen an overwhelming response drom the users since then. For those who dont know about yahoo tracker.
Yahoo Tracker is a free web based tool that can be used to keep track on your yahoo messenger buddies in last 24 hours. You need not download any software for that, because yahoo tracker is a web based service so you just need to have a browser with javascript support.
After the success of yahoo tracker, AIM tracker was launched. It has also seen a good response but due to lack of publicity and time. But still the response is over expectations. After that came MSN Tracker which is again doing good from the first day of its launch. I am in plans of launching two more similar trackers that could be used for tracking your chat buddies on ICQ messenger and Skype users. I’ll announce their launch whenever i do so.
Till then just stay tuned.
