Orkut Sharing

Soon Orkut will no longer provide support for IE 6

One of my colleagues and a good friend Chandrasen had sent me a snap-shot of his fiends Orkut profile which displaces an important message, rolled out to most of Orkut users who are using Internet Explore 6. 

IE6

When you log into Orkut with IE 6 you would get the following message:

Important

We will be phasing out support for your browser version (Internet Explorer 6) soon. Please upgrade to one of these more modern browsers: Internet Explorer 6 -> Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox

Browser Market Share

Google is recommending IE 8 at first place and then its own bowers Google Chrome at second place, but fact is Firefox stands at second place for browser by market share. However core part of this message is to upgrade your browser if you are using IE 6 with Orkut as soon as possible

Thanks to Chandrasen and Venkatesh for sharing this update and snap-shot. Please do let us know if you noticed any new updates / changes / bugs etc. in Orkut with us and we would be happy to share it with others.

Hi, this comment is unrelated to this post, but I would like to say that orkut changed its favicon today. Could this be indicative of orkut changing its logotype altogether? Because this one has definitely a different feel than the full logotype.

Thanks for indicating the new change for Orkut favicon.

About your question I really dont know if they are going to change its logotype, however it seems that Orkut has only come up with a new favicon till now.

We would have to wait and watch, what all gets changed with this new favicon.
