You may or may not have heard about it, but Orkut is a popular social network in Brazil and India. In fact, those two nations make up about 80 percent of its active user base. This Google social network is no Twitter or Facebook, or even Google Plus, but it does have some traction. That’s why Google has finally launched the social network’s iPhone app. You read that right — Orkut is owned and operated by Google.
The official Orkut app for iOS connects you to your friends and family. Now you can send scraps, see your friends updates, upload photos and browse your friends albums anywhere you go. Never miss a conversation again because you are not in front of your computer: get the free Orkut app and stay connected.
From the looks of it, it seems that Orkut is more appealing to the eyes than the Google+ app. Think there’s a design update coming for that? And do you see a resemblance to Kevin Rose’s Oink icon?
