"There’s a new social network in town called Ello.co, currently in Beta and invite only. I’ve been trying it out for a few days, and should you take the plunge there’s a few things you should be aware of.
1) Security / Privacy features.
These are currently on the to-do list. I’m not sure if they thought the current invite only community setup would mean less spammers and scammers overall, but for anybody used to the multiple security settings of Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook it might come as a bit of a shock. From the “Upcoming” section:
- User blocking
- Inappropriate content flagging
- Private accounts
- Private messaging
- Online / offline user designation"
