Now Orkut allows Audio, Video, Html Scraps

Before few weeks I've made an post on editing tips for orkut, Now orkut allows more than that

Now you can personalize scraps you send to your friends by using basic HTML code to add color, graphics, images, YouTube videos, Google Gadgets, and more.

If your scrap contains an embed, link, or image, you may need to fill in the word verification box after you click "post scrap."

Orkut just rolling this feature out a few profiles at a time. It may take a few days for you to see the new scrap options in your profile, even though you may have friends who send you rich-content scraps. Orkut can't add this on a per-profile basis, so Orkut appreciate your patience as we debut this new feature.



Customizing scraps with rich content is easy and only requires basic coding knowledge.

Some tips how to do it

* Add images and animations
Copy and paste URLs ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.jpg

* Add videos from YouTube and Google Video
Copy and paste the URL and the video will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=videoid

* Add podcast/audio
Copy and paste the URL of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.mp3

* Add html-embeddable objects
Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends.
