LANDING PAGE
We love the Interface and Navigation and how is very Simple! The Interface is minimalistic and the whole experience shows a rugged look with some obscenity. The Navigation is simple and still limited to a few options. Don’t forget it’s still in BETA. The fonts and colors are monochromatic and everything is minimal. It is a social network that is soothing for the eyes.
ABOUT
What is Ello?
Ello is a simple, beautiful, and ad-free social network created by a small group of artists and designers.
We originally built Ello as a private social network. Over time, so many people wanted to join Ello that we built a public version of Ello for everyone to use.
Ad Free
Ello doesn’t sell ads. Nor do we sell data about you to third parties.
Virtually every other social network is run by advertisers. Behind the scenes they employ armies of ad salesmen and data miners to record every move you make. Data about you is then auctioned off to advertisers and data brokers. You’re the product that’s being bought and sold.
Collecting and selling your personal data, reading your posts to your friends, and mapping your social connections for profit is both creepy and unethical. Under the guise of offering a “free” service, users pay a high price in intrusive advertising and lack of privacy.
We also think ads are tacky, that they insult our intelligence and that we’re better without them.ABOUT PAGE

TIMELINE
THE TIMELINE
Timeline is similar to Twitter but it is more flexible as you can just Drag’n’ Drop files as Images or Videos to post! This page resembles your timeline on your portfolio page on Facebook or Twitter.
THE FRIENDS
Here you follow posts from your friends. Each user has an “@” before his name as in Twitter to follow his posts.
FOLLOWING
Here you follow posts from other people and they called it “the noise”. Pretty much like Google Plus!
