After ten years of sparking conversations and
forging connections, we have decided it's time for us to start saying goodbye to Orkut. Over
the past decade, YouTube, Blogger and Google+ have taken off, with communities
springing up in every corner of the world. Because the growth of these
communities has outpaced Orkut's growth, we've decided to focus our energy and
resources on making these other social platforms as amazing as possible for
everyone who uses them.
We will shut down
Orkut on September 30, 2014. Until then, there will be no impact on you, so you
may have time to manage the transition. You can export your profile data,
community posts and photos using Google Takeout (available
until September 2016). We are preserving an archive of all public communities,
which will be available online starting September 30, 2014. If you don't want
your posts or name to be included in the community archive, you can remove
Orkut permanently from your Google account. Please visit our Help Center for
any further details.
It's been a great 10
years, and we apologize to those of you still actively using the service. We
hope you will find other online communities to spark more conversations and
build even more connections for the next decade and beyond.
