Hack:View Locked Orkut Albums

Well you might have ended up here after a long search for finding a hack for viewing locked orkut albums.I am not gonna fool you like all those before me have done.I will save you from the horror. Quite frankly you cannot view locked orkut albums as for now.All those hacks which might have worked before won't work anymore because the loopholes were all fixed by orkut.But you can surpass orkut's latest restriction to save photos from an open album.I will tell you how,but first things first.Lets list out the popular so called hacks that are no more working.

1.The javascript ain't working


javascript:alert("Wait for few seconds for pic`s to load......");nb= document.all[0].innerHTML.match(/[0-9]*.jpg\)/g);nb=parseInt(nb);document.body.innerHTML=”ALBUM HACK
SCRIPT BY Ethical Hacking Community”;for(i=1;i<=100;i++){document.body.innerHTML+=’



’;};void(0)

Don't bother copying and pasting this code.I wonder if this hack ever worked.


2.The greasemonkey script ain't working.

The script 'View Locked Album in Orkut Style' won't get you through locked albums either.

These two things have been filling the entire google search pages for some time.So never even care to read if what they are gonna tell you is one of these two.

And about saving album photos.Orkut disabled the right click on album photos and hence you cannot save using the right click option.I think that this kind of some imposition is unnecessary as there is the 'Lock album' feature for those who want to protect their photos.There are many hacks to this.

1.If you use firefox.Direct to the album page.Go Tools>Page Info>Media>Point to the image from the list>Save as.Ooh la la.

2.Easier method.Drag the image to the address bar which will in turn show the address of the image.Hit go and the image will appear where you can right click and save.

3.Take screen shot.Hit print screen key on your key board.Open up a new file in MSpaint and click Cntrl+V.Or you can use modern screencapture tools like Snagit or Faststone.

Hope this helped.

Digg Hack:How to repost buried stories in digg

Ever been victim of the digg lobby.Saw your story disappear before it got enough exposure.If yes is the answer then read on.Sometimes good stories and post disappear in the midst of junk.If you got any such posts in your hand then get ready to re post it and give a fight for it.But before i tell you the trick let me tell you a story.About an year back i happened to post an image here at Blogger Whale which i thought was very interesting and hoped that the digg crowd will shower its digg and put me on the front page.I had very much confidence in the pic alone that i didn't do much to promote the post at digg.I posted the story and waited for a response.The story got buried in no time.

I was very disappointed.About a month later i reposted the post.This time i targeted the geek community at digg,usually the guys who read science and technology + the guy who read softwares and coding stuff.I changed the title a bit and waited.In half an hour my effort started showing colours and i was on the front page.Hours later the pic gathered more attention and by this day it stands one of the most popular(digged) pics of all time at digg.


I first posted the article with this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html

Reposted the story with this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html#

If i had to repost it again i would use this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html##
