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!

Not way too different. I hope they make some more changes if they are looking at a complete makeover.
