Orkut’s New & Clean Album Page Design

Just noticed some minor but nice changes on Orkut album pages. Looks like Orkut team really got a creative mind on board as few days back they nicely enhanced birthday reminder section on homepage.

Earlier album listing and individiual photo listing in album had same user interface, with 4 rows and 3 columns. It used to create little confusion about thumbnail you are viewing as it could be photo inside album or album cover itself.

Now albums are given more weight and details as they always deserved and result in next to you… 🙂

I guess Orkut can still make use of free space, next to thumbnail on right-side, to give more details about albums. Like total number of comments, or list of people tagged in current album.

After you posted only I went and saw the change. I din’t know! Anyway, somehow I feel the previous layout made better use of space! We have to scroll down to see old albums! 🙁
