Orkut AutoScrap Reply Tool aka Vacation Responder

Gaurav Dua launched a new tool for Orkut users which allows you to send automatic replies to scraps. This can be used on lines of vacation responder feature found in popular mail services.

How it Works?

  • First signup for AutoScrap Reply. (Its free)
  • At the time of signing up, you need to give your orkut login information and also write scrap text once. Reply scrap text can be anything. As an example you can write, β€œHey I am out on vacation, will revert back to you on Monday”.
  • Next you will get a code which you need to embed in your scrapbook.
  • Now, whenever anyone send you a scrap, they will get set reply message automatically.
  • Next you can  and his scrap is either kept or deleted from your scrapbook depending on the option you choose at the time of singing up.

You can change settings/scrap deletion option from control panel you will get at Orkut Plus. Your received scraps are also stored in your scraps page there.

This is really good, easy to use service for Orkut users who are not yet addicted to Orkut.

I am not much of an Orkut user now, just check it once or twice daily, but Hell yeah! Gaurav Dua is doing fabulous job for Orkut users and needs to be commended on that.

@harsh – Do you think I need your account details? πŸ˜›

Actually, to make this addon feasible, you have to register with your orkut account.

PS – Orkut Plus! is a ‘brand name’. You can trust us. πŸ˜›

It’s your wish to go ahead though. Thanks for the appreciation. πŸ˜‰

@gaurav – thanks. You have always been encouraging πŸ˜€

@Deepak & Guarav
Yep. Its really nice and I will definitely use it when I will go on vacation next time. πŸ™‚

@Gaurav Dua
My pleasure bro… πŸ™‚

@Harsh
All I can say, you can trust Gaurav as well as people who start such services. πŸ™‚
Buddy, to tell you frankly, people who are working hard to create such things really don’t have time to check their own accounts.
People here send me their account details all the time when they stuck with problems, but I don’t remember storing any piece of their personal information.
If I really get lots of time someday, I will prefer logging in from my own account and go on searching old friends! πŸ™‚

@ Gaurav:

I have not yet used this bot.. But as per your help topic the autoreply will contain your site’s name. πŸ™
