OrkutFeeds - Get RSS Feeds for Orkut Scrapbook!

Orkut Feeds

Today we have launched a new service OrkutFeeds! It lets you subscribe to any Orkut Scrapbook using your favorite feed reader.

Best part of this service is that you do not need to give your orkut login details. So I guess this should not affect your orkut account in anyway!

Also we have options which will help you subscribe in only one-click, without ever visiting OrkutFeeds homepage!

#Bookmarklet Option: You can either drag-n-drop following bookmarklet on your browsers bookmark toolbar

#Greasemonkey Script Option : You will need firefox and greasemonkey extension for this. If you don’t have these get them first.

Then install OrkutFeeds greasemonkey script. The greasemonkey script will automatically add feed link on all orkut scrapbook pages.

Actually Vikas created a service like this in past, but he is selling his script now. I found its too easy to create one of my own as I myself and few other friend specially Oscar wanted this feature.

As of now, this service can not read private scrapbook. But its limitation by orkut itself!

I launched this one in hurry so it may contain some bugs. Please let me know if you find one so we can correct it.

Credits: RSS Writer Class by Snipplr made job a lot easier although some modifications were needed to make fees valid. Also thanks to CURL library. It turn out to be much more powerful than I ever imagined!

Thanks & Regards,

Actually there is single orkut account in use now to access all orkut services.
Service will improve once I add support for users own account.
