Recently Orkut has been doubling up as feed reader. But the real meat is getting scrap book updates through feeds. It might not make sense to some of you but for a feed junkie like me, it is super stuff1 . I feel one of the prime differences between other leading Social Networking sites and orkut is the absense of Feed support in orkut. And no one has real clue why Google does not give as much as importance orkut deserved, from the beginning. It took a loooong time to be able to use Google login to orkut accounts and the no donut problem was a surprise when it came from Google!
Coming to the main topic, here is how you can get the rss feed of your orkut scrapbook. [via TechBuzz]
Use the URL given below, but replace {uid} with your Orkut user ID

[...] Footnotes: [1] I always wondered why did they not plugin the blogs within orkut - either create a new one or to link to the existing blogpost, rest of the footnote grew enough to be a post! [2] according to Feedburner 3 - which again I had an account long ago but never used it until Google announced to buy it over. Feedburner, I guess that time did not provide email alerts or something, due to which I used Feedster -which gave lot of options. Now feedburner lets me connect feedster for email alerts and after google buying it I thought I can remember one less uname/pwd and logged in now. Now this blog’s feed is redirected to Feedburner feed (via the plugin) and fed to you!! So there, all for you, my dear 31 readers . Now click that ad there or at least leave a comment for my this selfless act! [3] I know there is some noise there, I should not have tried various feed services with my own feed. Now there is no way to delete it. [4]Have you seen FlickrVision? [5]also, as you know I am a huge fan of sms [6] Inactiv in Karnataka gave such a service but one thing lacking is a web user interface [7]there is twitku which integrates to look up to updates from both accounts.
