While Shashi and Poppy might spend a lot of time approving or rejecting friends requests with the launch of “New Orkut” community, Orkut expects to bring back users who’ve switched/switching to services like Facebook or Twitter with the upcoming launch.

Recent stats from Alexa show Orkut is not doing as well as it used to do about 6 months ago. Traffic Rank, Reach, PageViews, Time on Site, etc.. has witnessed a steady fall. So what the next best thing to do? Overhaul the existing service and features!

Without taking much away from Orkut which is the most popular social networking site in India and few other parts of the world I think Orkut will find it tough to keep its momentum going with other services (Twitter, Facebook) which are aggressively moving towards global domination in the social space.

The new Orkut offers features like “Super-Fast” Photo upload, Video chat, One-Stop Notification, Custom Profiles, Dynamic Friends list,  and other tweaks to make it a better social experience.

Currently, these features are only accessible by a selected few. If you are one of the eager socialites on you network who wants to show off with the new features, click here to sign-up for an invite or here to visit the new Orkut community page.

Watch the following video to see what Shashi and Poppy are excited about!
