Facebook’s New Treat

fbindiacolors Facebook, one of the best social networking sites, has come up with 2 new treats for its users. One is the awesomely cool Orkut Friends Importer and the other is Facebook in Indian Languages targeted to India. I would rather say both of these are targeted to Indians as Orkut’s traffic is primarily from India with 23.4% of the total site visitors (Source) out of which Chennai, Bangalore, Bombay and New Delhi are the toppers!

Facebook is now available in six Indian Languages – Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. This is available to Indian users, but, I guess international users can change through Language Settings.
