The author goes a bit overboard with the snark here. Ello has done well out of its early brush with the public consciousness. True, many people arrived and left, but more than a few stuck around. There are many interesting people on Ello now. Some use it for art or photography and some use it as a journal site.

- cookingrobot 12y agoOne day a few months ago, dozens of my friends were posting on FB about jumping ship and moving to a Ello. These were non technical people. It was crazy. It didn't work out obviously. But from an investors point of view, even a 1% chance of Elli being the next "thing" was a great bet.
- smt88 12y agoThank god Ello came around! There have never been any decent sites to post art, photography, or journal entries to your followers. Can't wait until all these fresh ideas kill Facebook, IBM, Tesla, NASA, etc!
- Leynos 12y agoThey're not trying to kill Facebook. The ones that left were the ones looking for another Facebook. Those that stayed were the ones looking for something else, and they seem to have found it.
