It looks as if Google has rolled out another feature for Orkut lovers everywhere. Entitled "profile views" this feature allows users to find out "who is watching them" and perhaps pay them a return visit.

Users can opt out of this feature, however they will be unable to know who viewed their profile, something many people (both good and bad) will probably want to know about.

Although this feature is new to Orkut citizens, Joga users (created by nike and Google) have been familiar with this for quite awhile.

Google's latest feature may simply be a tool to encourage users to interact amongst each other. Then again it could be a way for them to analyze their user base for commercial gain.
