Orkut has launched its app on Android, that is well integrated with one’s contact book. The app syncs your phonebook with Orkut friends’ phone numbers as well as status messages. A few nifty features include
- Orkut friends live folders
Simply add the list of your orkut friends as a live folder on your home screen, and you’ll be able to browse through your friends list even when not under data network coverage. The live folder also lets you communicate (via call, scrap or SMS) with your friends in a single click [via]
- Direct Photo uploads to your orkut albums.
Unlike the Orkut mobile app, you can simply upload photos from your Android Photo Gallery to Orkut albums.
- Scrap Notification
You will get notifications on your Android device when you have new scraps on orkut. The notifications will appear on your Android device notification bar; clicking on notifications will take you to your scrapbook page.
If you have an Android phone, do share your feedback of the app.

I love pluggd.in and this question is in the best positive sense you can take it.
Why is this a news or blog post on pluggd.in ?
Isn’t our niche to give analysis and point of view or something sensetional,not an obvious news like “Google created and app for it’s own platform for it’s own social network”. I mean duh … so ?
