Its been a decade since Michael Zuckerberg built facebook with other Harvard brainy kids; and now here comes a new Socia networking site Ello the 'anti facebook'.
Ello that claims to be an ad free website just debuted with its beta version in San Francisco.
According to its website:
"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 in audacity. We believe in beauty, simplicity and transparency. We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership."
" 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."
Ello is a simple Nd ad free website. Though some reports say that its empty unlike facebook full of features.
Facebook had been a niche of eveyones's photo over the past few years. But users had been moving away from.the social networkig sites to its many changes.
Users are now more inactive in Facebook when Messenger was created a separate app and suspociously had some security breach issues.
Recently when Facebook announced 'using their real names poilicy'- "The name you use should be your real name as it would be listed on your credit card, driver's license or student ID."-Ello is seeing 4,000 invitation requests per hour, according to an interview with Ello founder Paul Budnitz in BetaBeat yesterday.
The site itself is like a cross between Twitter and Tumblr though with more limited features. Users can post status updates, photos and GIFs and comment on their friends' posts. There is a search tool to find the people you know though it's been buggy and unreliable in our testing.
