I just wrote about the new Orkut design that has been released today. Unlike Facebook and other social networks, Orkut has decided to give this new design on invitation-basis,a tleast for now.

The new design looks tempting and being a geek, I’d love to try it even if I hate Orkut a lot and stopped using it two years ago. May be, I would start using it again if I find improvements.

How to Get Orkut New Design Invitations

To get invitations for the new Orkut design, the Orkut blog has given some tips/instructions to follow that will get you an invitation.

1. Join Poppy and Shashi on the official community (www.orkut.co.in/neworkut) for insights into the new version of orkut and participate in one of the many activities that will be taking place there. Be sure to check back often as the owners will be regularly announcing new ways to get access.
2. Find a friend who’s already using the new version of orkut and ask for an invite. You can see who’s already gotten access via your activity stream or by this icon that will appear on your friends’ profile pages, next to their names.
