Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that’s bought and sold. We believe there is a better way…We believe a social network can be a tool for empowerment. Not a tool to deceive, coerce and manipulate—but a place to connect, create and celebrate life. Even if you’re cheering for this phenomenon as a social media user, the view from inside any business that relies on social media advertising may be less enthusiastic. Businesses need to take Ello and its manifesto as a wake-up call to rethink the way they use social networks to reach customers. The intense interest and discussion engendered by this manifesto attests to the profound misgivings many of those customers now have about the networks that occupy a growing place our work, our relationships and our lives. Those misgivings are evident in the sign-ups for networks like Ello and Diaspora; in the emergence of anonymous, private and non-persistent platforms like Secret and WhatsApp; and in the growing number of Internet users who report taking steps to obscure their digital footprint."

People follow you and you follow them but they call it "friends". I much prefer facebook's (and other's) method of friend request then approval. I'm not really interested in talking to/interacting with the world.. I'm more interested in talking and interacting with my friends. I've stuck with facebook rather than twitter for that very reason -- I prefer the (supposed) privacy and connectivity with individuals rather than just being a broadcaster to the world. It remains to be seen if ello is interested in being like that.. it's early days still but I'm certainly willing to explore and see what comes.

I made milk come out my nose when I laughed really hard. I brought twinkies for lunch and somebody smashed them. I still ate the twinkie.  I'm the last kid to get picked for wiffle ball. Anyone want to invite me into this latest craze?  Sep 30 14 10:19 am Link BlueMoonPics wrote: Of course, inbox me your email and I invite you!

It's been getting a LOT of attention. I could see it being a thing so I took my name while I could. If you are on there, feel free to add me.

I exhausted mine a few days ago and they didn't refresh... don't think that 5 is all you can invite...  Oct 03 14 01:36 pm Link I'm looking for an invite if anyone has a spare and would be kind enough to help me out. Please send me a PM if you can help. Oct 03 14 01:39 pm Link I am judging how cool ello is by how quickly they invite me of their own accord. So far they are not cool. And falling. At this rate they may become too uncool for me to join at all.

I do wonder how they are going to make money, tho. No ads, no selling gathered info, no membership dues. Servers and bandwidth gotta be paid for one way or the other.

Oct 04 14 03:01 pm Link Earlier this year, I cancelled my G+ account, and whittled down my FB "friend" list from several thousand to a small (250-ish) collection of long-time IRL friends, former cow orkers, and immediate family. I'm heading in the entirely-opposite direction: the *very last* thing I need is MORE social media in my life, and I don't give a rat's ass if they're promising free pizza and beer delivered to my door every day as an incentive to join (let alone highly-suspect promises of ad-free-and-privacy-respecting networking)... no thanks. I'm good. If Ello turns out to be popular enough to overtake FB, I might switch to them and dump FB. But I doubt that'll happen anytime soon, if ever.  Oct 04 14 03:03 pm Link I don't have anymore invites to offer, unfortunately. One positive for ello is you can post full-res pictures. A lot of photographers have seemed to taken to it.

if they want to data mine people they think I look like that's fine by me too.
