I'm not a social networking fan, but this is very interesting. We'll see where it goes.
I fail to see anything interesting or new (except the story).

#22I'm the age Of Snapchat and Instagram Stories I'm not sure how a Facebook clone can be successful
Based on nothing more than 30seconds looking at the page, it seems to be attempting to connect strangers via common interests than by being a facebook clone which connects already established friends.
So .. Reddit :P

#23I'm echoing what others are saying: no web version means I won't bother at all.
My phone has access to multiple great browsers. Building a good lightweight web app means I can access the content from anywhere without having to deal with annoyances of push notifications or (as much) creepy tracking.
My favorite example of a mobile web app is currently Twitter Mobile [0]. I even like using it from my desktop. It's very lightweight, fast, and easy to read.

The bigger question is what is their business model? Same as fb, to sell ads?

Google+ already tried that. Why do they beat a death horse?

#26I thought just the other day "if only there was another social network I could use instead of Facebook (and convince my friends to join it)...", so seeing there's a new social network by the guy who made Orkut sounded like good news. However, from the website, I'm not sure "connect with people and content around your passions" is what I want. I'll wait and see how this pans out.
Yeah, to me it's also unclear what their values are, won't be joining now but will see how it pans out...

If you like mobile.twitter you might like dabr.eu
Apart from the default bright pink color it's lovely (and this is configurable)
I use it to keep twitter more work-friendly

#28I'm just sitting here wondering how much they paid for the domain name hello.com
Hello.com was a product of Picasa when it was acquired by Google. Given Orkut's history at Google, I assume he was able to get a good deal on it.

It's actually teenager-oriented snapchat clone with gamification. And phone-only too.

#30Just another app, will they be featured in planet of the apps?
