Ten Reasons to launch Orkut2.0

1. The necessity for a better Facebook alternative, New segment of groups outside Facebook need to evolve 
2. Orkut was successful during the 2005+ period. I remember it started as a side project.
3. Google+ started but didn't achieve what Orkut had earlier achieved
4. Android + Orkut 2.0 might need a comeback considering a better Facebook alternative
5. Already many contacts/ frequents contacts are only available in telephone contacts, bringing them into an Orkut 2.0 will challenge both WhatsApp and Facebook
6. Transparent privacy controls and ensuring user confidence Google can attempt to do a better job than Facebook (personal opinion)
7. Segment and build networks kids/elders/peer networks like research gate. We need specialty networks
8. Quora has become a crowded platform and losing its knowledge value. Facebook has become more of an influencer platform. Social media platforms need to be accountable for the facts/opinions shared. If the opinions are shared to disrupt peace then we certainly need to cut down the section that disrupts the peace.
9. Hopefully, there are more user controls, privacy, and data restrictions. The current twitter flagging debate highlights opinions vs verified opinions
10. Time for more innovation! 

Hopefully, we see more alternatives!!!
