Orkut friend suggestion

Sometimes you're in search of old friends and can't seem to find the one you're looking for. Friend suggestion is one tool on orkut that can help you in this. If you've common friends then chances are you'll get friend suggestion.

My observation with orkut's friend suggestion is that it imports contacts from email address. And from there it searches if any person is on orkut for that email address. If available then it shows profile pic and link. If you confirm that by looking at pic or profile then you can send friend request to profile and get back your lost friend on orkut :)

Orkut's new feature: Promote

I guess google is rolling up new feature for orkut. Currently there is on box on right hand side of my profile, community page is showing up. It is asking me to check a particular thread promoted by my friends friend. Now this is something cool, i mean if you want to reach wide audience with any of your product, community or to get more response to your threads. In such cases, orkut promote can give you good results.

It is still in beta and not available to every user and countries. I think it will be added to main features list soon. Expect SPAM and misuse of this service as well. and why just negative side of it. People will even find innovative ways to benefit from it.
