Its Time To Leave

Many people have stepped into the social networking sites starting with ORKUT. 4 years back Orkut is one of the social networking sites in which it have many active users. Orkut had a long journey, but alas it’s the end of the road form the social networking and recently it is announced that Google is completely removing the Orkut from coming September 30 until then the users can log in as usually and once after September 30 you can't access your account anymore

The main reason for Google to shutdown Orkut.com is It wants to focus more on other services such as YouTube, Blogger and Google+ which have grown in popularity over the years, and also to outpaced by competitors such as Facebook and Twitter. Nevertheless, the Orkut social network still has a good number of active users, mostly from Brazil.

And even if you haven’t logged into your account from a year or two, Google has no plans of wiping your data without giving you the chance to download your scraps and testimonials. On the other side the search giant will archive user-created public communities and also make them available online even the site is not present

Those who want their posts or name to be excluded from the archives will have to permanently delete their accounts. Once the expiry date has passed, no one will be able to log into their accounts. What’s more, the company has stopped accepting new members which is an obvious move. For those making their switch to Google+, the company will allow you to link to your new account one to make finding friends easier. Also, your profile photo and name will be carried forward.

Be sure to download your testimonials and scraps through Google Takeout before Orkut shuts down in September.

Rest In Peace ORKUT
