Bye Facebook. Hello, Ello

I made an account just for the sake of making an account.

If anyone wants to do the same, pm me, I have codes for days.

as if we need another social network

i agree but let's face it, theyre huge, so as long as we're accepting social media sites as part of our future, it'd be nice to have one without some of facebook's downsides.

i'd love to see a facebook with transparency (no data sharing, no face recognition software, etc) and without like-counting, just comments.

without the "likes," you take away some of the weird popularity contest aspect on there and you can just have cool pictures with comments sometimes. ive been told by multiple people that they delete stuff from their wall if it doesnt get as many likes as they want, and while i think that's insane i have to admit i would probably post more on the book if there wasn't the silly shallow worry that you won't get a lot of likes and look cool

my 2 cents. all that being said, it strikes me that it would be very difficult for someone to usurp facebook. i sorta feel like if google failed at it i don't see why someone else won't too. stupid reductive description but you know what i mean

So like..tumblr..?
Click to expand...

more community based. it's just starting.

As an area that shows view counts, replies, etc. users can post content ranging from personal projects to influential pieces to news to updates and statuses. It's a hybrid of tumblr, twitter, & instagram who have taken the lead well over facebook where links on fb and any content being shared is basically redirected to vines, news, etc. It's hard to explain to those that don't use these platforms semi-consistently with personal work or that have a following. You're not going to see people that still use facbeook now to merge over and you won't see people that just reblog to reblog on tumbs and post selfies on insta 24/7 to do the same. Like I said, it's just starting, but I wish these guys best of look - I see a lot of growth potential with the direction they're going.

Unless you were invited you are on the wait list bruh. And that code count goes to 5. Stay woke.

As if i wouldn't be invited, of course I was.

And there's a very simple algorithm to the codes, so yes, I have codes for days.

Damn. Too cool for me kid. Brb while I blast Tycho over your ignorance on my Braun system sitting on my Dieter Rams Universal Shelving decked in Tolomeos and lapse waves of glory in my lounger. Go draw something, shitty.

Humblebragging Dieter Ram's way too common consumer electronic's and his shelving set for Vitsoe isn't going to win you any design points, hell the Tolomeo's even drag you down to 1999 Dot-com bubble start-up tier, might as well add the Norman Foster Tecno desk and HM Aeron to complete the set.

A lot of what you're describing is user error though. To me the problem you described is that person's fault for accepting way too many "friends" who aren't really their friends. If you keep it small, then it would be fine. You wouldn't be worried about what people thought, because they'd be your friends. People use Facebook wrong sometimes.
 
I know I'm contradicting my own comment but I really like Ello so far. Plain simple. Hmu if you've signed up for it too

K. Too bad that Tolomeo on your desk doesnt really justify that. That's okay though.

By the way, I shoot for vitsoe as a freelancer. As well as a couple design firms who are working on Neutra renovations and several Gehry works but hey...you know your shit. You've managed to completely humble yourself into some NS design fiend which doesnt say much. You can talk to me all day about it, I have studied it for 9 years. You don't need to log into multiple accounts on obtaining upvotes for yourself in threads unless these kids are just sheep, which again proves my point. Wendy sent you your invite. Unless your count goes up by you giving away these codes, you're just spitting smoke up my ass. So don't.

The Tolomeo is just there to provide an ample source of light, my Ingo Maurer light sculptures do jack shit in that regard, also it's not just a simple desk, but more like 4 units of Graphis, if we are still doing this "mention design" thing. I don't use multiple accounts to obtain upvotes, they do fuel my ego and inflate me e-penis, as pathetic as it may seem but I rather get them by peer appreciation then false construct. I'm kind of even starting to like your frank honesty, come over to my place, and we can discuss the exact moment that Crouwel lost his touch or the how many lights are needed to shine as bright as Wolf Prix's ego.

And yes I have been sending codes to way more people, obviously they are not going to be linked back to me as friends but if you scramble the words of 2/3 codes together or even remove a word it seemingly does work. In addition Wendy never send me an invite for that account, the code for that was acquired with the aforementioned method.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Harvard Business School, and I’ve been involved in numerous leveraged buyouts, and I have over 300 million invested in my Cayman Islands bank account alone. I am trained in portfolio management and I’m the top short seller in the entire US market. You are nothing to me but just another piggy bank. I will wipe the value of your assets the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of accountants across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your Roth IRA. You’re fucking over, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can make you broke in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just if I stick to stocks. Not only am I extensively trained in equity markets, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Securities and Exchange Commission and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking done, kiddo. theres many of us.
 
I remember when gmail was invite only. Also I don't understand what's so different about this social networking that others don't already have. Well aside from being forced to place a logo on the photos you post. Maybe I'm getting old, but this seems pointless in my opinion. Mind you I also thought pinterest, twitter and instagram were also pointless I now have an account on all three.

^ that was funny the first time someone posted it. Wait, no it wasn't. Nor is it funny the four thousandth time.

I'm exiting my troll. How about you fuck off with the common sense revolving around copy pasta. We all get it.
 
really doubt this ever catches on. google plus was hyped for a week and no one ever did much with that, this will be the same thing
 
13151583:Mr.Bishop said:
Ok but seriously... does anyone have an invite for me?
Click to expand...

The second I get in I'll shoot you one, but for now they are preventing anyone new from joining. This is most likely due to people circumventing their join codes.
 
Someone hit me up with an invite if you can. I requested one and am waiting. I could see it being kind of fun for a while. I'll try it out, I suppose.

Always fun to try a new social network...
 
can we just have a text/voice/video chat service that runs over wifi without any signup bullshit like skype. I just want an improved aim back guys.

Ya for real

why would anybody try to keep it in up if they have no way of making money

would it jjst be run on donations?

Holy fuck how is there not a single invite amongst all of us?

Ello must be super exclusive and in high demand! Gosh it just makes me want to use it even more! A couple more exclamation points in case anyone thinks I'm serious!!

literally every time i see you post i`m reminded that you stole other people`s artwork and claimed it as your own.

everybody is already on Facebook why would everyone get off the group they're already in to get a new one.

To answer your question - when FB first hit the streets, Myspace was the big thing.
 
Facebook has a team of 2000+ of the smartest engineers working for it. Any groundbreaking idea you come up with, they can replicate better in a week's time. They're too big for a startup social media company to compete with.

Myspace at its peak wasn't even a fraction of what Facebook is now or has been for years.
 
13154540:louie.mirags said:
agreed but massive amounts of people still made the switch
Click to expand...

true, but there's still no comparison. myspace at its peak had something like 80 million visitors per month. Facebook I believe is somewhere beyond a billion per month.

more people are probably browsing Facebook at this very moment than ever were on Myspace
