It is strange for me in a era with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIN to imagine a new social network. Nothing against it, just sound as a enormous work to learn this soon-to-be-sensation of the internet.

Re: Hello from Orkut

#225> We even got married and had kids because of orkut. This has a totally different meaning in finnish as orkut means "orgasms" in casual speak.
Wait, so the guy's name means orgasms? Oh dear oh dear. This must cause problems for Turkish men in Finland. Kind of like the unfortunate Indian family name Dikshit.

#226The logo sucks, the app sucks, the colors are like Homer's makeup shotgun from the Simpsons. I downloaded it just because I always try new things. There isn't foresight as far as I see for username/URLification for web and its not focused on being photography of in progress life so its more like tumblr than it is instagram.
It looks like another social network built by engineers. The ONLY thing it has going for it is the URL, hello.com.

#228Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have no idea who they think they're targeting but there's still a huge amount of friction involved in getting users to install an app. I don't think that a younger audience is immune to that.
Have you seen kids using Instagram and (especially) SnapChat? Younger generations have a very different relationship to their devices than someone born, say, in the 70's or 80's has. They care very little about websites.
This hello.com seems like a much broader kind of "social network" that I would have a hard time getting any of my friends or family to try, I think.
