Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: SamTsuedo on September 30, 2014, 06:44:34 AM There are so many social networks these days and most of them are copycats or trying to be next facebook or twitter etc. I'll still take a look at the Ello.

I don't evan have a facebook account but i like the vibe of this. What do you like about the "vibe"? I just checked it out but found nothing special. If they are not showing ads, how will they pay the bills if the site becomes at all popular?

I just checked it out but found nothing special.

You may have missed the hidden bit that state's you will be shown 'selective' or 'targeted' adverts, gleamed of course, from the same scource facebook and google use, oh, and it is invite only at the moment, or at least since I last looked last week ;) Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: newflesh on October 01, 2014, 12:49:15 PM Yeah I doubt it'll be ad-free, they've taken nearly $500,000 in VC funding so they have to monitize something. Plenty of other alternatives but they're not very popular yet:

Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: Madness on October 02, 2014, 07:51:39 AM I heard about it just couple a day ago , all I know is that an invite is needed to join them , you tested it ? how is it like ? what do they do exactly ::)

Sadly, I don't believe this is one of them. The site offers nothing new, nor the membership numbers that Facebook has.

Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: PowerCordZ on October 02, 2014, 01:46:54 PM I took a look at it and decided not to go for it for atleast a year.
Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: 1Referee on October 02, 2014, 02:39:23 PM Not sure how long they can stretch it to run without ads.
Or they just sell data to third party companies to gain revenue. Title: Re: Ello, ad-free social network Post by: PenAndPaper on October 06, 2014, 10:33:34 PM lol someone sells 2 invites for 2 BTC! :o
