Orkuteers visit Google Banglore

Google recently invited three Indian superusers ( Rakesh, Prashant and Gaurav) of its social networking site Orkut to visit its Bangalore office and meet the Orkut team and share their feedback. Product Managers, Engineers, Operations staff, user experience researchers and HR reps joined to talk with them.

According to Goggle, the three Orkuteers gave feedback on some soon-to-be-launched features, and also shared some common issues/pain points that the team can improve upon.

Following the meeting, one of the three Orkut superusers from India said,  “The invitation was really surprising for me…That day became the historic landmark for me. I will never ever forget that day that I spent there with Google. Google people are so careful about users and that day they cared a lot of me and my mates. I feel lucky that I’m a superuser. This was the first time for me that when anyone was asking question, I was listening with my full concentration.” [Source: Orkut Blog]

  1. Do you see any problem with Orkut inviting the 3 superusers?

    None of them is a girl. Orkut should have gone for some diversity to get the best feedback.

  2. no ways for girls. :P as the superusers are active memberes from official orkut help group!
