How to export Orkut data?

Google has officially announced the End Of Life for Orkut - the once-upon-a-time popular social networking website that took almost entire online population of India and Brazil by storm. Since then, Facebook ate all of Orkut's lunch and became the biggest social networking site in the world, but Orkut kept breathing. Google allowed creating new accounts on Orkut; but has now formally announced that Orkut will no longer be accepting new signups.

The service itself will be dead by September 30, 2015. If you want to export your Orkut data, Google's providing a mechanism to do so through Google Takeout - the service that lets people gain charge of their own information available with Google.

Note that Google will allow you to download this information as many times as you want, without any restriction. Note that the last date of downloading your information from Google Takout is September 2016, which is quite a long time, should your Orkut information matters to you.

Google will focus on building their new social network called Google Plus. The G+ network has failed to take pace and compete with Facebook, which single handedly dominates the global social networking scene.
