Orkut Dummy Scraps…
Preface
Life's Good when friends were together. Two days back, I was reading the scraps of My Friend, I could nt control my laughter. Its really nice to read friends scraps. there is so much fun and in brighter side, it keeps me updated with their work, even I was not with them. also, Scraps wont consume more time like reading a big forward..
Example
Consider this scenario,
Description
The above examples, shows the importance of reading friends scraps. But its very boring to read others scraps by going to their scrap book. So I was thinking of creating a Robot (software), that periodically goes into each of my friends scrap book and store it in my computer and so that, I can read it at later time.
Programming
As a Free lance programmer, This absolutely, a fun for me.. I took php/mysql as the platform for working on it. After two weeks of work, I felt that this was going to be very difficult.
The main dificulty is that of logging into orkut and scrapping the pages. Luckily, I have got that source code for it, from ContactGrabber, a opensource project. It retrieves retrieves all friends emails from orkut, yahoo,gmail, etc etc if username and password is given to it. I played with the source code for around a week and all ends in a meagre improvement.
Meanwhile, NGCoders, has reduced my work by providing the scraps as feeds. All I need to know is just Orkut uid. The format of Feed URL.
http://www.indian-tv.com/orkut.php?uid={uid}
where uid is the orkut unique id for a person. NGcoders is very good guys as they were not advertised on the RSS.
A month back, I have written a script that looks for blog feeds from my friends and stores in my database. I used the same to read to Orkut scraps of my friends. voila.. I made it through their scraps..( Please dont tell them that I was reading their scraps regularly)
I have no plans to share it as a software for anyone. As it involves more thinking, and lots of dependencey on orkut's operation and the mediator, NGCODERS.
Conclusion
Always , Remember there is two options available in Orkut. Whether it is to scrap or message. Be aware of what you are scraping.. Enjoy .. Sometimes, its better to delete your old scraps. Anyway, I am truly connected.
Objective next: Orkut Photos & Testimonial :-)
A cool Forward in Orkut...
Just copy this.. and paste it into your addressbar while opening Orkut scrap Book
