Orkut Updates their Communities Service

Orkut, that oft-forgotten social network owned and operated by Google, is still a huge deal in India and Brazil.  The network never caught on here, but the website has 66 million active users around the world, with 59% of its users in Brazil and 27% in India.  That’s a lot of social networking.  The social network recently revamped their communities features, and have added a few new features.

At some point soon, we’ll take a closer look at Orkut, and explain what the draw is — including why the current users aren’t just switching to Facebook — but for now we’ll take a look at their most recent updates: communities.

Communities is the ‘groups’ of Orkut, and it’s one of the most used features on the site.
