Most of people use Orkut for scrapping feature. But sometimes, we don’t get replies from our friends. At those times we wonder whether they are online or offline. It makes a curiosity to know if that friend is online but not scrapping just to avoid.
Just to check if someone is online on orkut or not, open your homepage and look at your orkut friends list. It’s in the top right side corner. You will see few (8) of your friend’s pic over there.
The first row displays 4 friends. And just get sure that those four friends are online. Orkut always displays recently logged members in the top row. So, almost get sure that those four friends are online. And the next four friends in the below line, well there is a 50-50 chance, which depends on the number of friends you have. If you have more than 50 friends, then there is a bright chance that the second row friends are online, but if you have less than 50 orkut friends, you can not comment on his online presence.

- On the general tab, find the ‘safety filter’ section.
- Select the bubble next to ‘do not show inappropriate content.’

Most Orkut users are unaware of this fact that Google can index your Orkut profile and show in it’s search results. Now the whole world can see your profile on Google search results by just entering few of your details. Allowing Google to do this means you are exposing yourself before whole world.

2. Allow friend requests from selected people only
Orkut is for developing relationships and hence many people join here to make new friends. Since not all are with good intentions, you should not allow unknown people to add you and view your personal informations such as scraps, photos, videos etc.
You can restrict unknown people from sending friend requests by selecting one of three available options. You can either select to receive friend requests from friends of your friends, or from a selected region or from those people who is having your email ID. Select the best option for you.
3. Disable photo tagging option
If your friend is having one of your photos in his album, any of his friends can add a short identification batch AKA tag to that picture.

This will expose your photos, even if you have locked your own photo album.
You can always disable photo tagging option by un ticking the Yes option under Privacy section. Doing this will keep your identity secure and protected.
4. Limit access to your profile
Would you like to share your personal photos, videos, scraps, testimonials with everyone? Showing your photos to everyone might lead to creating an another profile with your photos.
