Orkut Now Accessible Via Facebook

Facebook is fast gaining popularity as one of the safer social networking sites and adding to that popularity is the fact that now Facebook users can access their Orkut accounts with the MyOrkut application, created by Jeetu Mirchandani, an ex-IIT Mumbai student, without leaving the site.

The social networking site also allows members to add an
application through which they can access their Gmail account.

Facebook allows its users to create and develop applications and has over 5,000 applications and 39 million active members.

A Facebook user has to add The MyOrkut
application to his/her profile by providing the URL of his Orkut profile id. Once added, he can access Orkut within Facebook without logging on to Orkut.

Gmail can be accessed on Facebook by using an
application called Fmail that has been created by two US-based students of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Courtland Allen and Aaron Rosado. The only feature missing in this
application is Google Chat.
