The free app for Orkut – a site launched by Google in 2004 which now has 66 million active members – allows users to post status updates, pictures and chat with others.
However, the app is slightly overdue. In fact, earlier this week it was revealed that Facebook overtook Orkut as Brazil’s most-popular social network in December. Its popularity in Brazil -- where 60% of Orkut’s users are based -- led to it being hosted and managed by Google Brazil from 2008 onwards.

In addition, Google+ is also picking up steam in Brazil. It alone raked in 4.3 million users last month.
But even still, the app has been much-anticipated for awhile now and Orkut users will certainly be glad to finally gain access to the site on the go. The app is now available for download via the Apple App Store.
