Basically yet another one trying to jump on the social network bandwagon.

I would argue he's not really jumping on the bandwagon considering that Orkut was one of the first social networks.

Orkut was produced by him under Google as an employee. Now he's trying to run with it again even though the whole thing is gamified and the letter is an ingenious as it gets. My guess is that he got a kickback to advertise and be the figurehead for someone elses shitty new social network. I would not be surprised if some celebs get paid off to start advertising it.

Jumping back on it, perhaps.
