Looks like ello.co has been redesigned. This might be incredible timing. Anyone want to give it another go?

They still don't seem to allow private feeds.

I'll pop over and have a look. Haven't been there since the day I first signed in.

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.

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

"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.
"

I'm not on v2 yet.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
