First of all i would like to tell you that black colour saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's colour settings and desktop graphics, as well as the colour and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen."

 

You can help save the energy & We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up.

 

How can you Participate ?

You can participate by turning your Orkut theme to black colour.

 

 

This way every time you load your Orkut account, you will save a little bit of energy. Remember every bit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to save energy each time you see the Black Orkut page load.

 

You can even also spread the message by updating your status or by  telling your friends about this concept.

 

Think what earth has given to you. Now it is the time to pay back .

 

 

There are many security given by orkut to secure your Orkut account. Orkut even gives you the opportunity to select with whom you want to share your scrapbook with.

 

You can select Everyone or Friends of friends or only with friends. But you cannot hide your scrapbook from your friends. They can read what you speak. Here i m going to tell you How to hide your scraps from your friends !

 

METHOD

Just select the scraps & click on REPORT SPAM to hide them . No to read them just click on SPAM from the more menu.

 

 

To Read the Scraps :

Just click on SPAM from the MORE menu & then you can read those scraps!

 

Wow! Only you can read those scraps without deleting them! So what is your opinion . Do you liked it. Drop in your comments !

Came across a funny article on Funlok. It showcases the Ideal Orkut Profile of a Software Engineer. And please, I cannot agree more with the description – It’s just Idea .

OrkutKnol is now more than 20 days old . Some days back we introduced our new feature – OrkutKnol! toolbar. Today we are introducing our new feature – Orkutknol for mobile users . You can visit orkutknol via your mobile from M.Orkutknol.Tk . Our mobile website is friendly with almost all smart mobiles. JavaScript enabled mobiles will be forwarded to M.orkutknol.tk from Orkutknol.tk automatically. So what's your views on our mobile website ! Drop in your comments…

With the recent cyber attacks on Google in china, Even if you think you are secured, But you may not be! Even if you think you must wait & first read this post.

As google is a multi functional website offering us many services like Gmail, orkut, Blogger, Picassa, chackout, ADSENSE . It would become a worst nightmare if our Google accounts gets hacked!

Like many other online services Google tries to protect your account with secret question as well as optional

secondary email address. But there is one more official option which only Google Provides!

1. Trying “Forget Password Option” :

I know this will not work in most cases, as options like forget password rely on secondary email address and security question, both of which can be easily changed once a account gets hacked. Still you should try at least once as most password gets hacked by script kiddies and not by real hackers.

So go to Forget Password form first!

2. What if the above option Fails ?

You can try the “CONTACT FORM “ option by google. Please go through the following information before submitting the form. (That’s why i am not providing you the link above ) :

• Your goal should be to give Google maximum & accurate data! So take your time and submit form with maximum amount of information possible. You can consult your trusted friends if you are not sure. As an example it could be Sam or Bob who invited you on orkut. If you are not sure call them up and ask it!
• Submit only one form! Yes this should be common sense. Do not submit multiple forms. A person who uses around 10-15 Google products asked me if he can submit multiple forms mentioning different Google products.
• Submit form from the place which you use most often to access your account like PC at home! Although they haven’t mentioned this explicitly, line above submit button says, “Please note that we need your IP address in order to resolve this issue. Your IP address will be captured automatically when you submit this form.”

Few things as example which google can ask :

• Last successful login date
• Account creation date
• Google products you used with this account and the date you started using each one
• Details about Orkut account (if you use Orkut)
• Details about Blogger account (if you use Blogger)

Google quoted:

If you've already tried to reset your password and you're still unable to access your Google Account, fill out the form below. Please answer each question as thoroughly and accurately as possible; the strength of your answers will determine if we can return your account. If you're not certain about some of the dates, provide your closest estimate.

Contact Form Link .

What if everything fails ?

If both the option fails you can make another account as there is no other option left :( .

Even if your account is not hacked you must go through the contact form & note the required information at some private place as no one knows what can happen …

If you have any more method you can leave in the comments section below.

How ?

• Go to the older version of Orkut(you can find link near logout in Orkut).
• Then you need to go to the Album pic page.
• Tag the image completely to any profile (preferably your own profile), without even leaving a single dot as it would destroy this trick.

It will disallow the right clicking to any image of your orkut album pic! Try saving the pic in the link given here but don’t use the print screen button as that always works.

Hello orkuteers .OrkutKnol wishes you a very happy New Year . Akki.tk is bringing a new website for orkut users- OrkutKnol.TK which was 123Orkut.Tk before. This journey started when WazzupAkki.co.cc was introduced as a multi page website on 30th September 2008. Orkut tricks was intoduced as a seaparate page on it. The next day when i got many visitors online, I felt very happy as this is a very happy moment for a Website owner. MY INSPIRATIONS I got to know a famous & amoong the top blog acrossthe internet : OrkutPlus! which became my sole inspiration to continue with orkut. Then around July 2009 I introduced 123Orkut.TK, a site full of orkut tricks, tools, smileys & testimonials. DevilsWrokshop - DevilsWorkshop, a technology blog, is a multi author blog. I beacme very used to read DevilsWorkshop & writing on this website. With this i started to write inside 123oRKUT.TK in November 2009. But that was not enough for me. I read many blogs which taught me the principles of blogging. I talked to many bloggers & I finally started working on my blog orkutgeeks.TK. But i didnt found this name too interesting as an OrkutGeek wouldnt need any help for using orkut. So i chose orkutKnol from Orkutknol & OrkutVilla. Once again a Very Happy 2010 & hope you to be a regular reader as i will leave no stone unturned to give the best of my Help.
