I got an invite, and it just kinda looks like a jumbled cross between tumblr and twitter and G+, with nothing standing out at all, except aesthetically. There's not even a chat feature, which means it's not a viable social option for me at all.

As for the privacy thing, that's not sustainable, and I don't buy it.

edit: oh snap! Ello is founded by the guy who makes the Budnitz bikes, which are pretty hated on (read the comments) , overhyped and made from a stolen design.

I remember seeing these and just laughing until people actually started buying a $5k commuter bike.

This is definitely not the thing it claims to be.
