Orkut’s New Interface is on its way

Even though Orkut was incredible successful in countries like Brazil and India, I always considered it as ugliest of all social networks. And now, Google has finally decided to give it a makeover!

At present, only a small group of profiles are testing out the new interface, but in weeks to come, they will slowly roll-out the new interface to everyone. Here’s a screenshot of what Orkut might look like:

From the screenshot, it doesn’t look like a total revamp. Only certain elements like rounded edges, new navigational header on the top and some other beautification will be introduced. I’m pretty excited to see the new interface myself!
