The death of an innocuous orkut scrap

Scraps, as orkut users might know are little messages of text/picture/video that users can send to one another as well as read anyone else's. That is the USP of the site, you can find out whats really going on based on the conversations he/she has, without the person telling you. Anyone could send these to anybody , but now no more ....

The settings page

Instead, you can introduce yourself while adding a person as friend ....

The girls would most probably be the first ones to turn the feature off.
So guys say your byes to casual intro scraps ... flood them with friend requests instead !
