Anti Facebook Social Networking Site Ello

Now a days in the world of Internet, daily we got new social networking site and they provides many different services. Also these sites are getting lot of traffic. These Social Networks are used for more advertisement source rather than social connectivity. We have seen Orkut (Now it has been closed). there were lot of craze among the Indians during the era of Orkut. Slowly Google started displaying ads and it become a platform for advertisement and then Facebook came into the picture. Users migrated from Orkut to Facebook and a day came when traffic on the Orkut become very low and Google decided to close it. Currently Facebook is focusing more about the ads and less about the user experiences and now Ello came in the picture.

As per the Ello:

 "Your social network is owned by advertisers.

Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that’s bought and sold.

We believe there is a better way. We believe in audacity. We believe in beauty, simplicity and transparency. We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership.

We believe a social network can be a tool for empowerment. Not a tool to deceive, coerce and manipulate — but a place to connect, create and celebrate life.

You are not a product."

A report says that users are now migrating from facebook to Ello. Currently this social network is in beta and only invitee can register on this site. This site was created last year as a "private" social network but now they have open it to public via an invitation basis registration.

Due to limited user access and strong demand, the invitations are being selling on eBay at prices $100 to $500 and some reports said that Ello is getting upto 35,000 requests per hour as a result of a viral surge in the past months . See one of the below screen print from the eBay
