Orkut Profile Information To Appear In Google Search

Google has introduced a new feature in their social networking site, Orkut. Your Orkut profile information will now be included in Google search results when someone searches for your name. I would say, this is by far the best feature orkut is going to have.

Google has mentioned the following in orkut’s help center, “Some orkut profiles will appear in Google search results as an orkut OneBox. A OneBox is a summary of your orkut profile, including key details like your name, photo and location. A OneBox appears only when someone who is logged in to orkut performs a search on Google.com for another orkut user. Keep in mind that this project is still in its experimental stage, so for now, only a small percentage of orkut users will see the OneBox in their search results,”.

However, if you don’t like this change you can simply disable it. Go to your settings page and in the Privacy tab select “hide information” to remove your profile from the orkut OneBox. As I use orkut quite often, I’ve seen people putting up weird quotes or random thoughts instead of their name and surname, so if you want this feature to work for you, you better not do that!
