After the boom of Facebook , orkut goes down its popularity . And the google started google plus 3 years ago . Ten years ago , Orkut was Google’s first foray into social networking . Built as a “20 percent” project , Orkut communities started conversations , and forged connections , that had never existed before.
Orkut helped shape life online before people really knew what “social networking” was . Over the past decade , YouTube , Blogger and Google+ have taken off , with communities springing up in every corner of the world . Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut's growth . They have decided to bid Orkut farewell . Google is now focusing our energy and resources on making these other social platforms as amazing as possible for everyone who uses them.
Until September 30, 2014 there will be no impact on current Orkut users , to give the community time to manage the transition . People can export their profile data , community posts and photos using Google Takeout (available until September 2016) . It will not be possible to create a new Orkut account . All of those communities Orkut users have created will live on.
Google is preserving an archive of all public communities, which will be available online starting September 30, 2014. If you don't want your posts or name to be included in the community archive , you can remove Orkut permanently from your Google account.
"It's been a great 10 years, and we apologize to those still actively using the service. We hope people will find other online communities to spark more conversations and build even more connections for the next decade and beyond."
Paulo Golgher, Engineering Director,Google
