Your social network is owned by advertisers.

Every post you share, every friend you make and every link you follow is tracked, recorded and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that’s bought and sold.

We believe there is a better way. We believe in audacity. We believe in beauty, simplicity and transparency. We believe that the people who make things and the people who use them should be in partnership.

We believe a social network can be a tool for empowerment. Not a tool to deceive, coerce and manipulate — but a place to connect, create and celebrate life.

You are not a product.

it's got no users like g+, which is good, but the interface is stupid in a different way than the g+ interface is stupid. Overall, I give it a 3.

the interface seems bad. there's no autocomplete when you mention people. there's no way to group message people that I can find. It's got this weird eyeless smiley face thing as a logo that is frankly really disconcerting.

supports animated gifs tho, so there's that.
