This year is the year of revolution for Orkut. Orkut has implemented a lot of new features ranging from Polls in communities to multimedia scraps but that doesn't end the journey of Orkut here. Orkut is rolling out another change which will definitely give its users a sizzling taste of spice.
Orkut's new style: True Blue Simplicity
Orkut has introduced a new style which is called True Blue Simplicity and is currently available only to some randomly selected users. However the whole system shall experience the change in a week's time and the new style will be made default for every user. This is definitely a good news for all those people who use Orkut as their main social networking platform and of course as I am one of them so this is good news for me too.
True Blue Simplicity Preview

You can see a preview of True Blue Simplicity above and it definitely looks cool and smooth. I never knew that even Google was so fond of Web 2.0 standards and styles. The primary color of the new theme is again blue (I have no idea what do they guys see in Blue) and there are new icons and rounded corners. The style loads as fast as the old one (Thanks to CSS)
I think this change was needed badly and thank God they have finally planned to implement it. This makes me think that Orkut has no plans of letting its users use custom styles like MySpace but still this is an enough treat for Orkut users for now. I wonder what are the reactions of Orkut users after experiencing this change
