Orkut App Highlight: Quickie Blog (Allowing Users To Blog Within Orkut)

Quickie Blog, an Orkut app built by Divyansh Sharma enables users to post their thoughts for their friends and family. While it is similar to the Orkut status update that Google launched a few months ago, Quikie Blog allows users to post more than 140 characters to their blog.



While this Orkut app has a lot of potential, Quikie Blog only allows users to post text (note: no html, no images, etc.), not to mention the fact that your friends can not comment on your post.

Divyansh is planning on rolling out an upgraded version of Quikie Blog in the future, which will enable commenting, privacy features, as well as an ability to hook up the app with ones blog/twitter account.

Ironically, there does not seem to be much competition as far as inserting a blog within Orkut goes, which means that this field is wide open for future developers (especially Divyansh).


Note: I will be reviewing more Orkut Apps in the following weeks (as Google is has now passed 300 Orkut Apps!).
