Orkut Toolbar
Orkut Toolbar helps you to format the text of your posts in the Orkut forums.
With Orkut Toolbar all you need is type your entire text without any formatting code and then select the desired parts of text and apply the format using the toolbar buttons. Much like you do in MS Word or any other text editor.
