Ello?

[slackerinabox]

So what's the deal? Anyone join it? What do they offer that FB doesn't? Anyone got an invite? ...

 

[Murloc]

first time I hear about it.
It looks very similar to twitter but claims to be ad-free.

I'm not interested really...

 

[TridenT]

I have it. It's in very early stages of development.

It's trying to be another social network without the advertisement stuff that Facebook does. (Selling your data, spamming with ads, etc.) No idea if it'll take off but it's worth getting on it just to grab a username you want. I got the one I wanted.

If it takes off they'll need a lot of money to scale, which means investors, which means they'll have to come up with a revenue model, which means...

I got one on launch, will probably never use it. I hate social media.

if it somehow generates invites I'll just post one here since I don't care about the genre.

edit apparently I have a bucket of these, who wants one? PM an email address or post it here if you don't care.

yeah? what if this "social media" was really just a portal for free dick pics?

:hmm:

Suppose I should take a look at it since social is becoming a big part of my job. Sending you a DM.

You gotta tip the mods to get yourself added to the distribution list.

Tip the mods. Pun intended.

Is the goal to be membership based? do they sell add-ons or premium services? intrigued, if they're less creepy than netflix

 

[Platypus]

ok I'm all out of invites, and yet no dongs

 

[Crono]

I'd like an invite if anyone has one.

 

[Printer Bandit]

 

[n7]

I too would like an invite. ^_^

 

[Anubis]

Ello is the in game character name of someone i used to play WoW with, hes from Australia and played a shadow priest

Ello-L

 

[slackerinabox]

Hmm, thanks for the invite platypus.. still have no idea how to use this thing. pm me for 2 invites

 

[RossMAN]

My wife and I really enjoyed Lionel Richie's concert a few months ago.

Disclaimer: No dongs were injured.

 

[ultimatebob]

I signed up for an invite... which means that I probably won't get invited until they run out of "cool" people to invite

Seriously, though... if you're not an "A" or "B" list celeb, a venture capitalist, a famous tech blogger, and/or are related to one of the above, they probably don't want your business yet.

But, hey, if you got an invite for me, I'll take it! I'd like to try it out until they either go bankrupt or sell out to advertisers. *

* Sorry guys, but your "no cost, no ads, only charge for premium features" business model has been tried by hundreds of .com's before, including one that I used to work at. Not enough people will ever pay for the premium features for the site to break even. Don't believe me? Ask Anand how much money he made off of the premium memberships for this forum

I am interested in an invite to ello. If you still have any available contact me.

 

[TwiceOver]

Free, No Ads, Won't sell data? Maybe today.

 

[Newell Steamer]

I requested an invite.

I like their look and I am all for their no selling of their user's information.

 

[Gunbuster]

Ello has accepted $435,000.00 from a venture capitalist. If you think it's going to be powered on privacy, cupcakes, and vegan artist farts I have a bridge to sell you.
