iscom: Ello: New Social Media Site Threatens Facebook
Ello is a new social-networking site
trying to battle Facebook.
There is a new social networking platform in town
and it offers one thing that people have been asking
Facebook: No ads.
Ello is a new, ad-free social networking site that
many believe poses a threat to Mark Zuckerberg's
Facebook. Launched six weeks ago, Ello is not yet
fully functional and is still in its beta phase.

However, people who want to experience what Ello
offers can only access the site once if they get
invited.
There are over 35,000 invites every hour and
according to sources, users can set up their profile
in just a few minutes. The new social networking
site's features, many described, are user-friendly
and edgy.
Word has also gotten around that Ello's Silicon
Valley programmers are luring younger people and
users to switch to their site.
Recent figures show that more than 31,000 people
are switching to Ello every hour because the new
social networking platform mirrors what Facebook
was when it first started.
Facebook was designed as a communication-
hangout platform for the youth, but later on
discovered by older and much younger
demographics that defeated its original purpose.
Emerson College's digital marketing professor David
Gerzof Richard said he has heard some great
reviews from people who have tried the new
platform. He said people think it has an artistic feel
and find it appealing.
By contrast, Facebook is like a coloring book where
people have had to "color between the lines", said
Richard.
However, last week, the new site was down for
almost 45 minutes as reports suggest it has been
hacked and a message displayed on the users'
screens read Distributed Denial of Service". The
programmers were able to resolve the issue as
they have blocked the IP addresses of the hackers
who attacked the website.
Ello is reportedly standing pat on their goal to make
the site advertisement-free, although it remains
unclear how the site plans to monetize its
operations to make it profitably viable.
Experts are now asking where Ello would get their
funds as maintaining a site requires money.
During Facebook's early days, it started out without
ads. By 2006, it opened its doors to advertisers with
prospects of generating and increasing the site's
revenue.
Meanwhile, Ello developers are okay with users not
wanting to share any information about themselves,
which also addresses the privacy issue that
Facebook has been saddled with in recent years.
The programmers and designers of the new
platform is yet to comment on this and will update
as soon as we get word.
