ORKUT SCRAPS WITH MAPS NOW

Hey my dear Orkut friends, Now Orkut is having the facility to scrap with maps.. In the Official Orkut blog software Engineer "Rodrigo Almeida" informed about this as given below
            
               "A few weeks ago we announced the option to add photos to scraps on the new orkut. Now, we're thrilled to tell you that you can also add maps to you scraps!

To add a map to a scrap, first click the text box to write and edit a scrap. You'll then see customization options on the top. Just click the red placemark icon to add a map to your message, like this:


You can search for a specific address or place (anywhere in the world!), or you can manually drop a placemark onto the map. Both options are easy, even if you're unfamiliar with Google Maps.

Once you select an address, your scrap draft will look like this:


Just post it and your friend will see the map you added. If the map is clicked, it loads the Google Maps page for that same spot, so your friend can further explore the area, check Street View photos, and even find public transit, drivingor biking directions to get there. 

So c'mon, get scrappy with maps - it's a lot of fun!"
 

Keep Orkutting with Maps friends...
