10 important things about Ello

1. Invite only

Though Ello is totally free of cost to use, it works individually on the premise on an invite only policy.

Every new user is designated 25 invites.

2. Manifesto

Ello asserts that the current social networking we are using is claimed by advertisers. All that we do, add someone as a friend, share something on news feed and like is followed and afterward the information is sold to the advertisers. We are surely the product that is sold and purchased in return for information. Be that as it may Ello is diverse, they treat us like people, not product and Ello is a stage to connect and celebrate. They will not misguide or administrate us like the rest of them.

3. Ad Free

Unlike other social networking sites Ello is virtually ad free. Ello steer clear-cut of promoting the data to third party and advertisers. Ad free and no data-mining policy is the basic rule of Ello.

4. Easy to use

The website is designed as very user friendly. The design is very smart and clean, there is not a sign of mixture with minimum options. It is very good thing for starting. If they come up with extra features later, for now the system and design is beautiful.

5. Free to use

Ello is totally free to use. Only a few exceptional features which if you want to be featured in your account forever, they will have to pay a small amount. Other this social networking site is absolutely free of cost.

6. Public network

7. News feed

The newsfeed is separated into two sections namely Friends and Noise. When you open a friends tab you will see all the news from people who are listed in your friends section.  Noise is the news feed from the rest of the people.

8. Features

9. Apps

The design of Ello is very neat so its mobile app also will be user friendly. They say that it will work for both iOS and android apps.

10. Privacy

Ello is said to be a public network. What you post other than private message can be entranced by other. There is no such thing as privacy in Ello. But they declare that they are working on the privacy and blocking system.

In My Opinion 5 reasons, why Ello will not a replacement of Facebook

Lack of privacy

Ello has no privacy settings. All profiles are public. But if you’re looking to Facebook there are many confusing privacy settings. Ello is not conscious of privacy. Anybody can find you. Block is an important feature if you’re seeking to a safe space but you cannot block other users. Even Twitter, which is not entirely known for helping users apportion with irritation, permits blocking.

The design

There's not a considerable measure going on when you take a look at Ello, however I can't choose if its black and white minimalism is purposeful or simply a placeholder for a completely fledged site. Finding friends is impossible: The site's find tool simply takes you to a list of Ello users the system thinks you ought to include. I've been gradually friending people I know by interrogating them what their Ello names are. That is not good for development. The primary feed, which is differentiated by "friends" and "noise" (people you don't know), likewise appears to be overly simple, however Ello's upcoming feature list promises a "repost with attribution" tool. That seems like Tumblr territory.

The apps

A social network without an application in our smartphone centric world we can’t expect, but Ello has not done it. Why? I am not sure .Ello says it’s working on iOS and Android apps, but at this point, apps shouldn’t be a bit of hindsight they should launch with or before a website.

The money

Facebook was ad-free some years. The founder of Tumblr’s hated the idea of ads. But today or tomorrow, every free network needs advertising. How would you make money? Ello has an indeterminate plan to offer premium features that are worth paying for, and probably that cash will be sufficient to maintain the site. Investors will need a return. By what method will Ello profit without selling your information? That part, seemingly the establishment of the whole system, is still fluffy. Brands have officially joined Ello, with Netflix encouraging its Ello followers to like the company on Facebook, in this way missing the whole point.

The hook
A lot of sites need advertisements. Numerous systems let you utilize pseudonyms of genuine names. So how is Ello different from others? Facebook has your whole life. Twitter is your news source. Tumblr is your inventive outlet. Instagram is your photograph studio. Pinterest is your rousing scrapbook. Each has something that separates it from the rest. I'm interested what Ello will do to make itself a vital piece of your day. But still, I'm not seeing it.

Since Ello is new, it is welcome to our social networking sites. We are interested to see what new we get from it.
