» Hack Is Back - Add More Than 1000 Friends on Orkut

  • Now follow the method given below so that others can send you a friend request and you can add them to break the 1000 friend barrier.

How others can add me as their friend?


It is evident that you cannot send an add request if you have reached the 1000 friends limit. You can always request others to add you though. Here are the step by step instructions which they should follow:




  • Enter email addresses to add as friend
  • Enter the Captcha
  • Submit

» Release Notes




Don't expect this bug to stay forever. This can be fixed anytime. On a positive note, this bug may no longer be a bug in future. Orkut is planning remove the friend limit in near future.
