Image
By
A social networking website Orkut will no longer be available from 30 September 2014.
Orkut will be officially shut down on September 30, 2014. Until then, you can:


  • Log in, play games, & use your account as normal
  • Export your photo albums to Google+
  • Save your Orkut profile, scraps, testimonials, & community posts to your computer using Google Takeout.
After Orkut shuts down on September 30, 2014:

  • You will not be able to log in to Orkut
  • You will not be able to export your photo albums to Google+ 
  • Apps, APIs, & games will no longer be available
  • Public communities will be saved in a publicly viewable Community Archive. 
The reason behind the closing down this website is due to the immense growth of websites like Youtube,Blogger and Google plus. In the email came to all orkut users, the subject line was " A Farewell to Orkut" and the message given to them was-


""After ten years of sparking conversations and forging connections, we have decided it's time for us to start saying goodbye to Orkut. Over the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to focus our energy and resources on making these other social platforms as amazing as possible for everyone who uses them.
We will shut down Orkut on September 30, 2014. Until then, there will be no impact on you, so you may have time to manage the transition. You can export your profile data, community posts and photos using Google Takeout (available until September 2016). We are preserving an archive of all public communities, which will be available online starting September 30, 2014. If you don't want your posts or name to be included in the community archive, you can remove Orkut permanently from your Google account. Please visit our Help Center for any further details.
It's been a great 10 years, and we apologize to those of you still actively using the service. We hope you will find other online communities to spark more conversations and build even more connections for the next decade and beyond"".

Why Google adsense is the best than other advertising network ?

By
Friends, Today I want to discuss about google adsense service provided by Google for website/blog owners.This service is provided to web publishers to monetize their web content and place ads according to the content and earn revenue by impression and clicks. Google provides title related ads on the webpage which is quite helpful for the visitors because it sometimes provide a direct link and they do not require a google search.Google adsense's tracking system is also of very high quality and in most of cases,it will always remain up to date.

What are some hacks that everyone should know?

By
Dress well, always. A lot depends on how you look! Pinch yourself if you can't stop laughing. At every job, you should either earn or learn. Either is fine. Both are best. But if it’s neither, quit. To exercise should be done daily, whatever the time. It doesn't matter if it is 5 minutes or 50 minutes. To keep bananas fresh for a longer time, wrap the top part of the bunch in plastic wrap. Research shows that the right ear is better at picking up words & speech, while the left ear is better at picking up music & other sounds. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda when you boil eggs and the shell will come off easily. If you place dry tea bags in smelly shoes and leave them for a few hours, the bad smell will go away. If you want to make sure the person you talk to is paying attention to you, start the conversation with “I shouldn’t be telling you this but…” You can make the elevator go faster by pressing “close” and your floor at the same time.
