You also get access to a lot of user information. Performing analytics on user content gives you even more information. Information means $$.
Is there a single company outside Facebook that actually makes money this way? Seems like a complete myth like the idea that Google "sells your personal information".

What is hooli?
Silicon Valley 's theoretical-lawsuit-friendly version of Google. It's interesting to me that a lot of shows do this, and I'm not sure why. Silicon Valley has Hooli. Veep has Clovis. Person of Interest had "Fetch and Retrieve", which honestly guys are you even trying. None of these shows seems to shy away from portraying other large tech companies, and it's trivially obvious even to someone nowhere near the industry…

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.
I had the same question about orkut.com. Did Google allow him to keep or buy the orkut.com domain when it shut down the Orkut service?

Seems like it's region locked (I'm in Germany) or (less likely) only accessible from a very select few devices. :/
Yet another proprietary social network. No thank you, I will stick with Diaspora* as it is already really good. If you really love people you would be open and not create another walled garden/closed ecosystem.
This would be a fantastic opportunity to design and operate an implementation of OStatus, and run a service designed from the ground up to federate, not separate - https://www.w3.org/community/ostatus/

And yes, message is incoherent (so empty, false words) 'cause it's about making money, of course. But so is Facebook and I get lots of interesting articles from friends and podcasts I listen to, so we'll see when they finish the web version and lots of people sign up.
I must say, I loled at this: > hello is the first social network built on loves, not likes. I know that the intention is great; it's just that I automatically pictured this as a scene in "Silicon Valley" (the TV show).
