(Hat Tip: Ortuk)
As if Orkut was not distracting enough for everyone, it looks as if Google has released a new feature that will suggest forums for users to join (which seems based upon the communities that you and your friends have already signed up for).
Orkut will display up to three recommended forums for users, and if one desires to see more they can click the "view all" link or simply visit orkut.com/Communities.aspx?tab=5 to view the entire list.
If the communities recommended to you are not relevant, boring, lewd or down right irritating, users can simply ignore future suggestions from that forum...
...as well as find out why Google recommended the forum to you in the first place (by clicking on the "Why was I recommended this?" link.
Users can also turn off this feature (if they want to preserve "screen real estate"), although most users may find it to be quite useful in discovering new communities.
Note: I wonder when Google is going to do something similar with friends, as well as Orkut Apps?
