[7 - No tomorrow]

New social network

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.

Will you be my friend on it?

Will you be my friend on it?

Sure thing. I am waiting on my invite though.

Waiting for my invite

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Also waiting. I forget my Diaspora login now. I believe all the ISIS lads have gone there.

I've signed up...I can't figure out how to work it

 

[Lili Marlene]

I don't really get it either, but the important thing is I'm on it and other people aren't.

who else read that in Johnny Ive's voice?

 

[therealjohnny]

Ive no idea who that is

 

[Mormon Nailer]

It's a bizarre and, to me anyway, a counter intuitive fact but

When I used to post a lot on Facebook I was a tiresome "you are not the customer - you are the product" type.
But didn't actually post any less
Lately I've drifted away from it, for other reason
And I seem to have made my peace with the privacy, and the urgency to sign up for Diaspora, Ello, G+ whatever doesn't exist.
