Welcome to the official orkut Developer Forum!

Orkut is an OpenSocial container, which means that you can build all sorts of cool apps to reach orkut users. OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for building social applications that run across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's information like friend lists and activities.

This forum is a place where you can learn about developing OpenSocial applications on orkut. Here are some other useful links.
