Yesterday Orkut introduces a new and much awaited feature "Private Scraps”. In the past everybody can read your scraps but now when you will send scraps to someone you can decide whether you want others to see that scrap or you just want to restrict it to the person you sent the scrap. Today when I opened my Orkut account and I got surprised when I see a message board from orkut which was saying that From now on, all scraps you send to your friends will also show up in your profile. Want to keep something in secret? Just send a private scrap. I am happy to see this option as I wanted this feature on Orkut from so long.
According to Official Orkut Blog, “We take privacy very seriously on orkut, and we want to make it really easy for everyone. That’s why we’re also launching private scraps, so you don’t have to use testimonials for private messages anymore. To keep something secret, just send a private scrap to your friends, and just those people selected will see it. Yep, just them! Recipients can also reply, creating a completely private conversation.”
There are three levels of privacy for any shared content :
Visible only to friends means that only the friends of the person who initially posted that content will be able to see it. So if you add a comment to it, your comment will show up in your profile page only for those friends that have access to the original post. Other users simply won’t see anything.
Visible to all the web means that any orkut user can see the content. So if you add a comment to it, your comment will be publicly visible in your profile page as well.
Visible only to selected friends means that only a few users were selected to see the content. If you can see it and you’re not the one who posted it, then the person who did it selected you to see that content. Any comment you add will only be visible in your profile page to those selected friends that are able to see the initial content. Other users simply won’t see anything.
