Ello is a simple, beautiful, and ad-free social network
created by a small group of artists and designers. Originally, it was built as
a private social network, but later it was converted to the public network due
to the overwhelming demand.
Ello is a community of creators, thinkers, and dreamers
sharing inspiration through images and stories.
Ello is not about who you are with or where you are
going. Ello feeds your imagination and reminds you to let yourself wander. It
is a visually driven network where you will find things you can’t find anywhere
else.
Ad-free forever, your posts live in a safe and beautiful
space that is easy to use, and with a host of features that amplify your
creativity.
Ello is a new space where you connect with new people and
things beyond your current social circles. It is a friendly community that
welcomes everyone— from professional artists and creators to bloggers,
curators, and everyday dreamers. If you live to be inspired or inspire others,
Ello is for you.
Publish full-screen images, video, audio, GIFs, and long
form writing in a simple and clean environment that brings out the best in
creative work. Share what you care about most. Let inspiration be your guide.
To assure that Ello always remains ad-free, Ello
converted to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). A Benefit Corporation is a new
kind of for-profit company in the USA that exists to produce a benefit for
society as a whole — not just to make money for its investors.
The Ello PBC charter states in the strongest legal terms
possible that:
1) Ello shall never make money from selling ads;
2) Ello shall never make money from selling user data;
and
3) In the event that Ello is ever sold, the new owners
will have to comply by these terms.
In other words, Ello exists for your benefit, and will
never show ads or sell user data.
