Ask Orkut Friends a Question - New Feature Inspired by LinkedIn Answers

The first application for Orkut - Google has added a new feature in Orkut that’s very similar to LinkedIn Answers - you can post a question in your Orkut profile and ask friends to provide an answer.

You can either open the question to your entire Orkut friend network or a select group of friends.

Here’s something that will leave you impressed - when you type a question, Google will automatically suggest relevant categories based on the text of your question. When I typed “How to cook Dal Makhni at home”, the system was smart enough to suggest me the “Cooking and Recipes” category.

This is also significant because it’s the first application on Orkut platform (code named mobius).
