Orkut Scraps on your mobile for Free

Just follow these simple steps:

Step 1:
First of all you have to get the feed url of your Orkut profile by using orkutfeeds.com.
For this, just open your Orkut profile and copy the home page link (In my case it is http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Profile.aspx?uid=17131020411019753927).

Step 2:
Now go to orkutfeeds.com and paste your Orkut profile link (already generated on step 1).

After this, just hit the subscribe button and you'll be provided with your Orkut profile feed url (In my case, it is http://www.orkutfeeds.com/feed.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.co.in%2FProfile.aspx%3Fuid%3D17131020411019753927).

Step 3:
Also add "#both" at the end of the above URL so that you can get messages of the scrap as well.
Now my feed URL becomes http://www.orkutfeeds.com/feed.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.co.in%2FProfile.aspx%3Fuid%3D17131020411019753927#both

Step 4:

Now go to Google SMS channels homepage and create a new channel as shown in the screen shot below. If you don't have an account on SMS channels then create one by logging in with your Gmail password.

Step 5:
Fill all the required details and feed URL of your Orkut page (refer step 2) on the 'RSS/Atom feed' form and finally hit the 'create channel' button.

That's it! Now you'll be getting scrap notifications via SMS for life

Note:

• For this trick to work on locked scrapbooks, you must add this Orkutfeeds bot as your friend.
• Scrap notification are delayed for 2-4 hours depending on the Google's server traffic.
