What is Ello?
It is a simple and minimalist social network built to be completely ads-free. On October 23, 2014, Ello became a USA Public Benefit Corporation, making it virtually impossible for them to ever sell ads or user data. Read more here.
The service is completely free to use. You will never have to pay anything, and you can keep using it forever, for free. They occasionally offer special features to their users. If they create a special feature that you really like, you may choose to support Ello by paying a very small amount of money to add that feature to your account. By choosing to buy a feature now and then for a very small amount of money you help Ello get better.
Ello is an online social networking service created by Paul Budnitz and Todd Berger in March 2014. It was created as an ad-free alternative to existing social networks. It has pivoted from its earlier Facebook-like incarnation toward a Pinterest-like website showcasing art, photography, fashion and web culture. The service claims several notable distinguishing intentions as a social network such as never selling user data to advertisers or third parties, never showing advertisements, and not enforcing a real-name policy.
How to Join?
It’s currently invitation-only. To join Ello, you need to know someone that is already on the network. As a member, FastComet has a few invites to share. If you would like to join Ello, let us know and we will be happy to send you an invitation.
