To Spice up your scraps, Orkut has recently started allowing images, videos, podcasts and HTML embeddable objects in scraps. Now you can add rich multimedia content to scraps that you send to your friends.

How to add multimedia content to scraps:

Adding images
Copy and paste urls ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.jpg

Adding videos from YouTube and Google Video
Copy and paste the url and the video will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=videoid

Adding podcast/audio
Copy and paste the url of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.mp3

Adding html-embeddable objects
Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends.

Please note that this recently announced feature may not be available on your account yet but it is being rolled out slowly to all users.
