Ello social site too popular, gets online attack

Well that didn't take long.


Fledgling social media site Ello has apparently become the target of a denial of service attack. At least that was the posting on the site's home page Sunday afternoon.


The new ad-free site has gathered steam lately as an alternative to Facebook, as it touts that your information won't be sold to advertisers.


Currently in beta testing mode, Ello membership is invite-only for now. So you can only join if you get an invitation from someone already on the site. You can also request an invite on the site's homepage.


Site creator Paul Budnitz has said the site is receiving 31,000 requests every hour and invites are even for sale on eBay now.



The Ello website is seen on the monitor screen September 27, 2014 in Washington D.C. In a matter of days, the new social network Ello, described as the 'anti-Facebook' for its stand on privacy and advertising, has become perhaps the hottest ticket on the Internet. Created last year as a 'private' social network, Ello (www.ello.co) recently opened its doors on an invitation-only basis.(Photo: Paul J. Richards, AFP/Getty Images)

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2.

To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
