Add Picasa Album, Blogger To Orkut

Orkut has recently enabled the option for integrating your Picasa Web Album, Flickr, Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal etc accounts into your Orkut profile.

Check the details in the linked post @ - Inside Orkut or simply go to Orkut - Edit Feeds and follow instructions there.

I've just used this feature and added all my blog feeds to my profile. And that's when I came to know of its current limitations. U can add only upto 5 feeds at a time. :( i.e., that's the maximum number of feeds U can have on your profile. Well, can't really complain about it. After all, it's orkut - not Google Reader. Integration of different application shouldn't kill the individuality of any application, right? ;)

The real problem with this feature is - post date wronging. Actually, when the post from the feeds are imported onto your 'View Feed' page - the dates are all messed up. :$ i.e., even though U might have written an entry on 1st may - it's getting reported here as 1st June or any other date for that matter. For example, the feed of my blog genius @ play is reporting all the write-ups as 'posted 23 minutes ago' when actually they are months old. Add to that, posts aren't in the same order as they are in my Blog. My very 1st post is @ the top here, followed by my 3rd latest post, then some random post - i.e, the continuity is gone.

Hope google will look into this bug soon. Meanwhile, all U Guys n Gals out there can try this new awesome feature for yourself. Keep Orkuting. :)
