Orkut Helper (Making Orkut Life Easier)

(Hat Tip: Firefox Pro)

With all of the Firefox hacks (plus software programs) coming out for Orkut, it's very hard for a developer to come out with a new feature without overlapping previous ones mentioned in the past.

Although Orkut Helper allows users to watch video's, see images, and place a link to your scrapbook on the Orkut menu bar at the top, the three features that I find useful are:

1) The ability to right click on a profile and visit their scrapbook, album or (in the case of spammers) mark them as bogus (something that is very helpful indeed).

2) Animated smileys (an item that will make us Sanguines happy)

3) But the best feature about Orkut Helper is that it eliminates the need to login to Orkut if one has already signed into their Google Account (something I felt was a bit redundant).

This hack is for Firefox users and you can install the hack by clicking here (if the file is not working, you can also download it from Anish's Google page) visiting Anish's Firefox page.


I do not see an official forum to post problems to, although if you are experiencing technical difficulties then you may want to try posting on the Firefox page.

Note: Adding this to the sidebar underneath Orkut User Tools.

Update: Silly me! I forgot to credit Anish for creating this hack. If you have time during the holidays, feel free to email or scrap him about this hack.

Update (1/12): Forgot to update new link for hack. Thanks Anish for letting me know!

Update (2/1): Updated link to download this hack. Thanks again Anish!
