I regret to tell you that, there could be but personally I don't know any tool to integrate the way you are saying.
Although one way to achieve that is to use twitter. Register yourself at www.twitter.com and add twitter application to both your Facebook and Orkut account. Thus any tweet you published will automatically be updated in your social networking accounts.

People generally use LinkedIn to maintain their professional profiles which could acts similar to a resume. However, Facebook & Orkut are totally different and people use it for a more personal purpose…. and the whole point of using both is to “socialize” which is usually done through 'updates'!! If you don't have time to update, there's no point in using them!!
And yes, Orkut is popular in Brazil and India. In the US and Europe, Facebook has a dominance.
About security, none of the websites including even banks', are not totally secure. I would agree that experts claim that Facebook has a better security than orkut but 'getting your orkut account hacked' depends a lot on the person using it. If proper care is taken, one can avoid it to a great extend!!

If I would suggest, try using both (only if you time to ) and find out which one is suits you more. For your friends, you can always invite them to use the one you are using!!

Your article is useful good info. I'm also check usability of websites in my job. i've made and account in facebook and orkut. but i'm not much active in social sites. mostly i use linkedin. but my many indian friend and relatives use orkut and other (outside india) use facebook. O don't have a time to update both account daily or weekly and don't want to. I've seen my many friend's orkut's account had been hacked and hacker had placed pronographic materials in their profile althoug but they had got their profile back from google password recovery. but now i think due to security reason i'm deciding not to use orkut. i think facebook is more secure than orkut new and old both. but if i use facebook then i will all orkut friend there.

What should I do?

Thanks for your input.
However, this blog is mainly aimed over the asthetics and User Experience, and so I've focused myself on the usability of the two services.
As a matter of fact, Games or social apps in facebook is far better than those available at orkut. Due to some Open social restrictions, developers do have a harder time integrating apps at orkut so as to create better games or other web apps.
wrt to my post, ppl have questioned why I've not compared those apps, user community in orkut vs groups at facebook, about fan pages in facebook which are non existent in orkut.

Well the fact is that, I'm tryin to focus on the UX aspects only. I hope I could write about those real differences in services as well in my following posts.
Hope you enjoy reading pebam.info!!

Good Post…you gotta mention the Games in Facebook too.For example Yoville (which i love to be in) and many more which sharpens your socialising skills.
