I think ello does something too retro and familiar to be the Next Thing. But I was so dang wrong about Twitter so what do I know
-
Twitter is more of a supplementary form, like the channelless IRC that constantly repeats itself.
Tumblr is longer form, but same mechanisms of tagging and rebroadcasting. Less like a chatroom, but similar mode.

So what the fuck does Ello do?
-
Status updates. With little interactivity. Whoop-de-doo.
-
And like I hinted yesterday, it's Friends/Noise thing is still not as good as LJ's lists & filters. Nothing used regularly today is.
-
I mean, GIFs are good? So is Ello like Tumblr but for white media people?
-
I mean, whatever, I enjoy messing around with new things. Still gonna play with it for a while yet.
-
But the "minimalism" of Ello isn't elegance, it's dysfunctionality. Crapping in a hole in the woods is not elegance.
-
@sarahjeong that's false. crapping in the woods rules
