Orkut launches its Mobile Version and Low Bandwidth Site

Posted on 13 Apr, 2008 by Scott under Announcements, Cell Phones, Google, Internet, web reviews

OrkutOrkut has silently released a low bandwidth version of their site for users with dialup or GPRS.

If you have a slow internet connection or a Pay-Per-MB internet plan you should definitely use the lo-fi version of Orkut. To this this:

  • Navigate to General Settings
  • Choose “show the low bandwidth version of orkut” option button.
  • Hit Save Changes.
  • Enjoy a faster and low data usage Orkut!

Selecting this option switches your account to a low bandwidth version where images in scrapbook, profile pages and the user’s orkut homepage are disabled.

Orkut also has a mobile version of its site for people who have GPRS enabled on their handsets. The mobile version can be found at m.orkut.com – this mobile version lets you read scraps, receive recent updates from friends and you can also approve or decline new friend requests.

Happy Orkutting! :)
