All Good Things Come To An End (The Death Of Inside Orkut)

Well, if you probably have not noticed, I have not been posting here recently. ;-) I'm officially shutting down this blog, although I will leave the site up as a reference to others (as people are still contacting me with questions!).

Anyways, for those of you seeking to get an Orkut fix, here are a few resources you can check out:


  • The Official Orkut Blog: Run by googlers (of course), the official blog documents the latest features from the team--as well as some insight into the world of all things Google.
  • Orkut Plus: Run by Gaurav, this site features some of the best hacks for Orkut. A must read for the Orkut addict.
  • Orkut Heros: Founded by Zazo, this blog highlights many of the talented individuals who use Orkut daily. It's also a great way for outsiders to check out "orkut culture" (which is very different from MySpace and Facebook).
  • Orkut.com: Need I say more? ;-)


As for me, I'll be blogging upon my personal site (which is now powered by WordPress), as well as tweeting on twitter (@Darnell).

I'll leave the comment section open--yet moderated (as I still loath spammers) and feel free to email me at darnell clayton on Gmail (die, spam bots die!).

Peace!

Even I have almost stopped posting on Orkut on Blakut.com

Facebook is now my first choice of social networking.
