I've looked into ello... a lot of hype about it being the "anti-facebook" but really, it just sounds like exactly facebook only they have a free version and then bits you pay for, rather than facebook doing all the work by setting up ways to mine your data. I don't dislike facebook, I just mostly dislike people 
Having said that, facebook is the easiest and probably most effective way to get yourself noticed on the internet. Billy and addy work incredibly hard to increase our social media profile, with the Pig Pen Poetry group on Facebook and our tumblr blog, plus I think there's a twitter thingo but I don't tweet... there are ways to get yourself noticed without paying big money for it, but it's a hard slog and too many people think they should just be able to pay and receive instant gratification these days. You know when your mummy tells you you're the most amazing writer in the universe? She's a fucking idiot, and a liar to boot.

It could be worse
