Ratings and Crush List There was a time when Orkut had an interesting feature where you could add your friend to your crush list and even rate the person! And if your crush added you to his/her list, you would both http://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/0QePwYWxNc8 get a notification informing of the same. There's a sweet dating site right there! 2. Orkut Scrapbooks The equivalent of the Facebook Wall, Orkut Scrapbooks definitely added a lot of colour and fun to our lives. In the hey days, the Scrapbook sometimes became a universal means of spreading those philosophical or 'awwww' sounding forwards but end of the day, it was definitely very sweet. 3. Themes This is one thing we really miss in today's http://www.indiatimes.com/technology/internet/top-5-orkut-features-we-will-miss-159392.html social networking sites: themes. You could make your Orkut page as colourful as you wanted it to be. Making your page colourful added an element of fun to the site and definitely made it look a lot more youthful. 4. Who Viewed Your Profile Even if you're too scared to add friends to your crush list for fear of not being in theirs, this was a sure-shot way of knowing who was web-stalking you. This feature has led to multiple spammy Facebook apps but when it comes to profile views, Orkut wins hands down! 5. Testimonials One of the coolest features, which often led to playful cyber-bullying.

And reading up on it years later, it would definitely make the receiver smile! Are there any features you miss? Let us know in comments! And perhaps, it is now the time to take a moment and re-visit your defunct Orkut account. 272 facebook twitter reddit gplus Comment Here ADVERTISEMENT Next on Indiatimes Technology: Samsung Gear Live Available at Rs 15,900 Spotlight PARTNER 15 Smart Ideas That Can Make Your Long Drives A Super Smooth & Fun-Filled Experience PARTNER 10 Things You Can Relate To If You Are Missing Your Adventurous Side Beautiful Gesture From Rafael Nadal As
