Orkut SandBox : The first look

Today I got the access to Orkut Sandbox, I tried lot of flicks-and-clicks with the functionality of the Sandbox. When you got access to sand box you have to login using http://sandbox.orkut.com/, when you have successful login you will see your profile page with one extra link "applications" at the left side.





When you click on the application link, you will be provided with application directory page. Where you can find some applications. ( see below image)
Application Directory Page

Add New Applications Page.
Now you can add selected application with your profile, I deployed Funny Cat Photos application.




Sandbox provides same facility like facebook application add-ins. Now I am waiting for the developer release of OpenSocial by Google.
