Orkut Albums may be updated soon!

Google has recently updated their robots.txt file and have added Orkut albums in the disallowed list. It is always noted that whenever, Google adds any service in the robots.txt file. Then either they launch a new service or they upgrade any service.

So, we can expect that there will be some upgrades in the Orkut albums in the near future. But, as Garret rogers has pointed out that it will be great if at all, Google can integrate Picasa Web Albums with Orkut Albums or make it something like Facebook Albums (which is really really cool!)

So, all you orkut users, what do you expect in the Orkut albums ? Any new feature or do you want the restriction of 12 photos to be removed. What suggestions do you have for Google?

    Thats good news. I desperately want Picasaweb – Orkut integeration.Seems like google has found a good way for reaching out their products via orkut.First it was gtalk integeration. then Youtube Google Videos, If this happens flickr may loose heavy share as people will prefer picasaweb just for its orkut integeration featue.

    I still like the normal looks in album. Orkut is slowly growing into spammy social group

    Ashish: That’s certainly true. I get so many requests to join their communities. You won’t believe me, but some folks are running a contest of making friends.

    I have created a Gmail filter which kills any community requests

    Well, Even I agree that there are many people who are making Orkut a bad place. As Thilak said, that too many community requests, people tampering with images of girls and lots of stupid activities.
    However, we need to look at the positive sides of it as well.

    @ Ashish : It looks normal but we can expect that it will be changed in near future. We can just hope that the integration happens :)
