Yes definitely what we needed was more social media: the Ello thread

Just checked, it's still there.

This reminds me a lot of the delusional kid who would start yet another pointless campus litmag because, you know, the other ones just weren't getting it right and only he had the vision to create something truly underground and beautiful drawing on the same crappy talent pool as every other publication on campus

Just checked, it's still there.

And again, still there. The most recent post in my follow feed is from October 2014.

I'll be happy when people ello takes the place of poor misunderstood Google+ as the butt of social media jokes.

March is NSFW Month on Ello!

this is still going, and now branded as 'the creators network'.
just logged in for the first time in years.
its not the most compelling experience.

I still get the emails

i logged in purely to switch the emails off, and thought i would have a bit of a wander around.
as i am not a creator i got bored very quickly.

yes whenever I get an email from ello I think "hahahaha I remember that". you'd think the timing would be ripe for a compelling FB alternative again, now, but we'll see. ello ain't it

'...ellooooooooooo!'

you'd think the timing would be ripe for a compelling FB alternative again, now, but we'll see. ello ain't it

another reason i thought i'd have a look to see if it had improved given all the original hype re 'no adverts ...' etc.
turns out it hasn't at all.
admittedly the site seems to work better, but i care not re an excess of art student projects (things i just dont care about #32).

tumblr and instagram both already exist, so...

Remember when?

Anyway it disappeared last year. A post-mortem.

yeah i went to look for it a while ago and found several other things that now use the Ello name

woof, that article is a burn.
