Review: Orkut's Mobius App (aka Ask Friends App)

So if you have not heard already, Google has released an app called Ask Friends (note: What's with the Mobius at the end?), in which you can ask your friends random questions to which you will hopefully receive some worthy advice.

Google posted about this on their Official Orkut Blog, while Rahul provides instructions (with pictures) on how to add this feature over on Devil's Workshop.

Perhaps the greatest strength and weakness about this app is its simplicity. It is easy enough that even the non-geek can understand how to use it, although without any extra features people may choose to send out mass scraps, especially now that users can send fancy scraps such as video's images, etc.

If Google allowed users to ask questions via video (perhaps using YouTube's Quick Capture) as well as embedded Google Maps (which would help people out if they were asking for directions) then this feature may find itself to be quite popular.

Note: Speaking of Maps, is it me or is the Orkut Frind Map down?

Orkut apps are nice mainly I liked crixchange where every cricket player will be having a price just like company enlisted in stock market..But,in perspective of sports I found something more could added..
For example in Stock Markets we find IT sector,Infrastructure,Manufacturing sector,Automobile sector,Oil and Natural Gas sector etc..and we find certain companies in each sector......Likewise to this situation I request lets have Football sector,Golf sector,Cricket sector,Badminton sector,Basket ball sector,F1 sector,A1 sector,Moto Gp sector,Chess sector,Volley ball sector,billiards sector and many more..and in each sector let there be some enlisted players just like the real situation where in each sector we find some enlisted companies...
This is a better game than crixchange because...some people will not like a particular game but you should catch them..It gives good knowledge on sports...and also gives indepth knowledge on famous personalities across sports which is needed and... users will bind to orkut for having such fun and entertainment...

How is this share market guys???The concept is itself making me to sit on the edge of the seat!!
