Making conversations on Orkut easier
September 28th, 2011 | Published in Google Orkut
Have you ever been surprised to learn that someone commented on a video you posted but you did not noticed it? Well, some of us have also been that and we wanted to fix it it.
Today we are launching four improvements for most Orkut users:
1. A new page called "conversations", which shows new scraps you get, new replies or comments to conversations you have participated on: videos you shared, scraps you’ve posted and photos you’ve commented on.
2. An indication of items you haven’t read yet. You’ll see a small box to the right of the labels “conversations”, “reminders” and “scraps”. Those will let you know that you should check those pages for updates. Once you enter the page you’ll see a small colored mark to the left of the items that you haven’t read yet. Simply opening those pages will automatically mark those items as read.
And, due to that, we are also making two small changes:
3. Bye, bye yellow ribbon on the top of the updates. As you saw, we resolved it with a much nicer solution.
4. We aren’t showing comments on scraps you sent in your scrapbook page anymore. You’ll be able to see them in your "conversations" page, which is private to you.
Those changes should reach all users in a few days. We really hope you like them!
