You. A stage. 7ish minutes. Slides you've never seen. An audience to impress. You're going in blind. Screw it, we'll do it live!

What: a light-hearted evening of presentations. You may have heard of this concept under the name Presentation Karaoke or Battledecks. It's lot's of fun, I promise :)

Why: practice public speaking and improvisation, have fun, general shenanigannery

Rules:

the presenter must have never seen the slides before they go on
slide decks can be of any length, but the presenter has a fixed amount of time. It's up to the presenter to make it work :)
audience participation and general rowdiness is encouraged

	Building something like Ello costs money. They have a team of at least seven people, and have worked on it for months. That doesn't come cheap.

	The About section makes it seem like Ello was built independently, a group of artists making something for themselves, presumably funded by volunteer effort and maybe a seed investment from Ello president and CEO Paul Budnitz, who also founded Kidrobot and Budnitz Bicycles.

	But a little digging shows a much more predictable source: they took a $435,000 round of seed funding in January from FreshTracks Capital, a Vermont-based VC firm that announced the deal in March.

	Why is this problematic?

	The Ello founders are positioning it as an alternative to other social networks — they won't sell your data or show your ads. "You are not the product."
