Here is How to Download your 'Orkut' information

Google has officially announced that Orkut, a social networking website, will be shut down at the end of September, but people, like us, who had spent their teenage days on Orkut, can't get over their nostalgia associated with it.

The social networking website has now stopped accepting more users, as Google has minimized its expansion. Orkut was launched in 2004, the same year when Facebook was founded, never achieved the same number of users as Facebook did.

Here we are sharing you the way by which you can download all your scraps, photos and testimonials at one place before Orkut goes in History.

In order to download your Orkut information, you must be the owner of the account. Some Orkut information can be downloaded using Google Takeout in a single ZIP file containing HTML files and JPEG photos.

You can download these items from Orkut:

• Your profile
• Scraps received
• Testimonials received
• Activities
• Your photos

Note that you can only export the testimonials and scraps you have received and their comments.

To download your Orkut information:

1. Go to the Google Takeout page.
2. Click Choose services and then select Orkut.
3. Click Create archive.
4. Wait for the archive to be ready. It may take some time. Optionally, you can be warned by email when it's ready.
5. When it's ready, click download.

There's no limit on how many times your Orkut information can be downloaded.
