Yep, Orkut accounts have been merged with Google accounts. Looks like Google is actually serious about this "Orkut", despite the fact that it's so different (and so much slower) than all of Google's other services.

We thank you for your patience while we continue to successfully resolve the reported login issues.

If you are new to this transition, or have trouble logging in please enter your orkut username and password. If you want to link to a different Google Account, you will be given this option after you sign in.

If you have successfully linked a valid Google Account with your orkut login, please use the Google Account to access orkut. Have a great time on orkut.

This appears when you've succesfully linked your accounts:
