Well who ever has used Orkut are aware the blog post title message which shows up when Orkut’s server are too busy to respond.
But this time no donuts for the whole Orkut team since they have set a hard limit of only 250 video links per profile which I hate personally hate and I’m not even a heavy user of Orkut. Here is the message I get when I add a video:
You can only add upto 250 favorites. Please remove some favorites in order to add new ones.
Looks like the Orkut network is going backwards instead of moving forward by implementing this kind of limit. Considering India being one the major market for India this is a really bad move since Indian music industry is driven by the film industry with each having 5 songs minimum. Don’t ask me why we need 5 songs in middle of a movie that’s a whole different story.
The reality is every orkut user bookmarks(embeds) all kind of youtube Indian film songs and this limit is going to make the users move to a different network. Wake up Orkut..
Here are some suggestions Orkut might do to improve the videos section which I personally used to like:
- Will it be too hard to create a playlist of all videos so we can listen to all of our favorite song.
- Has it even considering enabling search for the videos? It makes me wonder if this product is really from Google.
- If a youtube video has been disabled can it at least remove them by default instead of occupying my limited video library limit.
Considering all this downfalls of Orkut I do think may be I should join Facebook but I use these social networks to keep in touch with friends which Orkut does it ok for me.
May be I should depend more on my blog running on WordPress more where I control my app/data than letting them control me what I can and can’t do.
We choose where we develop..
I was always under the impression that my country India was well developed culturally/socially and still developing economically.
Its not more than a year since 26/11/2008 Mumbai attacks happened and already my country(India) government has totally forgotten about it. The Prime minister of India is on whirl wind tour of USA during 26/11 this year and talking about the US – India relationship/climate change/nuclear deal which is good though but not @ the cost of missing out on paying respect to the fallen people on 26/11/2008.
May be
Just think about it would any of the developed countries head of states would have accepted the invitation to vist a foreign country that too on the first anniversary of a bomb blast itself?
Looks like we are trying too hard to develop economically and loosing the social part of it. I do know the PM is taking care of business as a professional weighing on the benefits but still it could have been handled in a better way. Just my thought..
