anyone on ello?
 
instagram is like a ghost town now, all the quilters defected to ello.

I had never heard of it, so had to Google to find it. How do I join? Looks like I would have to be invited. I don't do instagram, so not sure how ello might work.

I never did join Instagram either...I thought snapchat was the big thing (I haven't joined that either).

Oh please, not another one! How many does that make now?

Haven't heard of it but then I'm not real big on social media.

ha, ha. never heard of it and don't really know what instagram is either. sad but true. so many new things keep popping up and people navigate to the "new".

This site is all I need or have the time for:) Thanks anyway!

shrug, i actually like ello. u don't have to be invited. i would say there are about 1700 quilters on that site. ello works best as an app on the phone but i do use it on the web. i was a bit lost after hgtv closed its message boards. i find inspiration on instagram, pinterest, dribble, twitter and here. every site has something different to offer. if u do find yourself on ello, my name is eileensideways.

Don't know the first thing about "ello"or "instagram"..what are they? Seriously..

CookieZenmilk 03-25-2016 05:15 PM

ello and instagram are a photo sharing social web service that lets you share your life through a series of pictures. on instagram they have many swaps and challenges and sew-alongs. u can comment and share. ello is an ad-free social network site, an alternative to facebook. ello is a place to discover beautiful art and connect with creators around the world. the quilter community left instagram because it changed its order. the quilters boycotted it and found another alternative. people don't like change.

I've never heard of it. There are just too many sites to go to these days

I try to keep a low profile too to avoid any of the crime on the internet.

CookieZenmilk 03-26-2016 12:06 PM

ha ha at crime on the internet. quilting is dangerous. pretty sure no one is going to go after eileensideways, tho i have had my credit card stolen 6 times. what about pinterest? do u like that?

All the kids have deserted Facebook and Instagram for Snapchat- don't join! We have to join secretly to keep an eye on the kids (education is so complicated now-if we don't do this parents say we aren't doing enough to handle cyber bullying...the price paid in private education in a litigious society) and when adults invade the space they take off enmasse! off to investigate ello...
