Back in September, an elegant little anti-Facebook social network with a few thousand users became the fastest growing social network in history in a matter of hours. Since the hype died down, Ello has become the butt of the easiest Twitter joke in toothless tech criticism: "Remember Ello? Me neither, lol." It's time to freshen your memory: As of this morning, Ello has closed a deal for another $5 million in funding as it adds community managers, builds its mobile app and entirely redesigns its site.

"If you’re afraid you may someday get kicked off your social network or blogging platform because you post NSFW content, don’t sweat it. You’re always welcome on Ello."
