Open Facebook On Orkut...And Vice Versa?

(Hat Tip: Orkut Open Social)

Although this is probably old news to hackers, it looks as if Vivek has created an Orkut app that allows users to visit (and access) their Facebook accounts while still logged into Orkut.



While users are unable to have access to all of Facebook's features, it does allow you to send messages via Facebook mail, as well as post on users walls (which is similar to Orkut scrapbooks).

Users can install this app by copying and pasting this url below into the field on the Orkut application page.

Note: This feature is only available to developers or users who have access to the Orkut Sandbox. Those interested in participating can sign up over here.

Some may remember a similar app that allowed Facebook users to access Orkut, although the only difference between the Facebook app and the Orkut one is the fact that you have to login to Facebook to view it on Orkut, an item Vivek can hopefully change.

Exit Question: With most of the major social networks joining the Open Social movement, I wonder if every social network will eventually morph into Social Stream?
