Sooooo #Ello  the 'anti-Facebook' has been blowing up
It's ok… sparse and minimalist. They're clearing having growing pains, which is to be expected. Anybody have thoughts on the format, style, etc?

If you need an invite send me your email address and I'll shoot some out. #elloinvite   #elloinvitecode

About Paul Spoerry

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

    They need a block user feature

    I'd really love to see them implement hierarchical comment threading – that is one beautiful thing that Livejournal got so very right, and too many networks fail to include.

    I hope I can take advantage of your kind offer for an #ello invite. If not, you're still a champ for making the offer. darsb1@gmail.com

    (accidentally sent earlier via Hangouts – the company firewall does odd things to G+)

    I really hope so +matthew rappaport. Me, the wife and a few friends already got a lurker that we had to shake off from G+.

    Difficult to search for people you either know or actually want to be social with. They might want to work on that.

    +Paul Spoerry, what is the link to your Ello profile?

    +Dean Barnett / +juan vasquez invites sent (had a few others PM me; I might be out for the time being… not sure how they recycle/hand out more).

    +Andrew Cherkashin I'm at: https://ello.co/paulspoerry

    +Bliss Morgan Yeah that'd be nice.

     +matthew rappaport Can you not comment on images and whatnot? I have to say I find the UI a bit confusing. If I post under one I suppose it's not attached specifically to that image though is it? If that's the case then yeah, they totally need to get that figured out.

    Thank you, very much. I'm looking forward to exploring this.

    I just checked… it's very janky but if you start a post (if that's what they call it?!?!) and then copy in an image, the text from the top post will sit right above your image +matthew rappaport. Not very clean/clear but the display looks right after you do it.

    Layout looks like myspace a bit

    I still think http://incubator.apache.org/wave/index.html is a better bet in the long run.
    We need a federated solution for social. We still only have email, its crazy.

    Can you please send me an invite?  thompson01@cox.net
    Thanks.

    Invites are all out. Sorry. I fI get more I'll post again. 

    +Thomas Wrobel Google abandoned that for a reason. Having said that, I'm totally with you. I complain at work all the time that people refuse to only communicate via email. It's like using a blunt object instead of a scalpel. Even better than say a federated solution might be a P2P/mesh network.

    Okay
