Orkut's commenting on photos directly in activity stream

The latest buzz on Orkut’s social networking service is that it has added a new feature that enables inline photo comments.

With this newly added feature, you can save your time and energy by directly replying on comments for the photos you see in your activity stream.

“Reading the latest comments on your friend’s photos in your activity stream, but not sure how to reply? We’ve just made this easier for you do by letting you make comments directly in your activity stream,” says Robson, Software Engineer at Orkut, in the blog post.

So you don’t need to visit your friend’s album to reply to the latest comment, instead just do it right from the home page, as soon as you log in. Enabling this inline photo comment feature is the simple “add comment” option in the activity stream provided by Orkut.

Orkut, the social networking site run by Google, has been slowly and steadily introducing new features and apps to its service. However, the tech world gets to see more updates from Facebook and MySpace, the competing social networking sites.

This month, Facebook updated its home page with a new layout, has got Fire Eagle embedded into it and introduced new privacy controls to allow users to open their profiles freely.
