You can search for people you know and view profiles in orkut. Pretty standard feature. @harishchandra: I don’t really understand the question.

I wonder about the commitment level of Google to orkut b/c you'd think they'd want to add services to it. I did notice a GTalk tab integration that I think is new, but Firefox didn't like the link. @PJ there’s no way that I can find to import contacts from anywhere, even in CSV or vCard form.

"There are no import capabilities from say an email address book. GMail, anyone? This is odd to me because I was automatically added by virtue of my Google ID." It does seem daft that google dont intergrate all their services. ie Address book for use in gmail, orkut, youtube (forwarding clips) etc. Calendar in orkut for reminders. Address book in maps to easily reference friends/family locations. I realise this is an old thread but still, id like to know if anyone has any information on the address book capabilities of Orkut.

Duh. Herez the link to my profile. http://www.orkut.com/Scrapbook.aspx?uid=900134546436900867 It seems they have very few people working in Orkut development. Ellison's quote about Technology industry and women's fashion comes to mind. Guessing they are having few internal takers as it is already assumed it is a dud compared to facebook or even the vertical ones like shelfari. No longer cool. Also, there is a huge issue of identity in Orkut. Anyone can create a profile and a lot of young women have been victims. Well, could not find you using the search. Duh.

Johan makes a good point about the Google Address Book too. Orkut seems like a good basis for that. Dunno. I'll look for your invite.

Orkut has the worst search in the world. 2. Orkut is hottest in India after Brazil.I read something like 72% Brazil and 18% India. Don't know how much of that figure is true. I am almost guaranteed to find anyone in the 15 - 35 age group in my social circle and in India. 3. I think the reason why it has caught on in India and Brazil has more to do with a few 'sneezers' rather than with the technology. 4. Orkut came out as one guy's '20%' project. It is obvious he was working in a silo and thatz why most of the mashups that you are referring to and would expect are not there. I'll send u an invite :-) Cheers, Jay 1.

I tried to use someone else's, JIC that person was already using orkut. It fired off an email invite, no confirmation. Borked. Wow, I finally had to use Johan’s email addie to “find” him.

It will be tough to socialize the apps without one. Orkut search really seems awful. I can't find you either. Search seems like a no-brainer for Google, but I guess this is a flawed assumption, e.g. Reader. Yeah, I hope address book is one of the new features.

However - among all the Google apps I do miss a good solution for your address book.
