Orkut Launches for iPhone — Will It Encourage Growth?
Orkut has been sitting on the sidelines ever since Google Plus showed up on the product roadmap at Google, and it looks like it’s going to stay that way. With Google+ up to a reported 40 million monthly active users, it’s only the start for the emerging social network. That said, Orkut is still pushing forward, with strength in India and Brazil and 66 million active users as of October 2011. The question is whether Google is doing anything to help these two products get along or not — and whether they’re taking opportunities to synergize (yes, I used that word).
Judging by the looks of the recent release of the Orkut app for iPhone, it looks like these two products are going to stay on their own tracks, at least for now.

We recently covered Instagram as it was announced to be Apple’s App of the Year, and since then it seems that the buzz has picked up even more.

Instagram Selected as Apple’s 2011 App of the Year
And the winner is… Instagram. The powerful photo application allows people to easily give their photos a visual punch, with filters ranging from cracked black & white to high contrast super-model. The images are resized into a square sahape, and typically a vignette is applied to the edges. The results are fantastic, and Apple has supported the app and the team by selecting it as their favorite application of 2011.
