They still don't seem to allow private feeds. - Jennifer Dittrich

I started the reg process. Sleepy time b3ckonžzzzzzzzz - Aloof Schipperke

I'll pop over and have a look. Haven't been there since the day I first signed in. - DB, Lil LB's Dad

Agreed DB. They say they received another round of funding, so the development may be moving forward. Nothing will beat Friendfeed, but we have to keep looking. - Eric @ CS Techcast

Trust.. its a fragile thing when a company goes live. Ello is a case study in poor launches. - CW

"Ello V2 adds a brand new interface and awesome new features, including full-screen browsing, expanded search & discover, drag & drop editing, drafts, rich commenting, fuzzy logic emojis, and a hell of a lot more. We’ve even added CodePen support, so developers & hobbyists can embed short programs right in their Ello stream. Ello V2 also delivers a robust backend, which help us add new features more quickly, including live notifications, private messaging, private groups, #tags, loves and more. And Ello mobile apps for iOS and Android are coming this spring! Expect them to mirror Ello V2’s innovative web interface, with clean and beautiful design." - Eric @ CS Techcast

"Starting today we’ll begin adding batches of people to Ello V2. Please be patient! It‘ll take about a week to get everyone on Ello switched to V2. We promise to get you on as soon as we can! Ello is a positive, social revolution supported by our community. Help keep Ello growing organically: please invite the people you love, who will love Ello too. " - Eric @ CS Techcast

I'm not on v2 yet. - Eric @ CS Techcast

I just put in a request for an account. Unless it's really good, I'm likely to stay with ones I'm already using. - John (bird whisperer)

Glad you posted that. I went there and was like "It looks the same dude." - DB, Lil LB's Dad

I wouldn't count on it being super good yet. More an experiment for me. But if I can't find my friends, what's the point. All I know is my FB friends have no idea it's there. - Eric @ CS Techcast

"All I know is my FB friends have no idea it's there." And that might be the best part. :) - CAJ was here

In my most recent round of spring cleaning I just deleted my account there. - Stephan Planken

For the last 4 months, all I got was a weekly feed from a beer magazine. And I sub to well over 100 people mostly librarians there. Granted, I didn't post anything there either. - Back to just Joe

How do you know if you are on V2 or not? - Kol Tregaskes

You can find me at https://ello.co/koltregaskes First impression is it's not that great. Nice minimalist design if you list that but not sure it quite has enough features to replace FriendFeed. I can't see "rooms" anywhere for one and the "noise" page looks like chaos: https://ello.co/noise Perhaps I'm on v1 and v2 is far better organised. - Kol Tregaskes

It still looks the same to me. But I like the design. I've just been too busy to utilize it much. Though I suspect that this will change next week. - Steven Perez
