　　Ello’s business plan is different. The site plans to charge for features. If you want to managetwo different accounts on Ello, you will have to pay a one-time fee of $2. The site launched withhardly any features in order to be as simple as possible. That gives Ello the option of chargingfor each new feature it introduces.

　　Ello的商业计划则有些不一样，该网站计划根据功能收费。如果你想在Ello上拥有2个账户，你就得一次性支付2美元。由于奉行极简主义，该网站刚发布时几乎什么功能也没有，因此对每项新功能收费成为Ello今后的可能性之一。

　　The problem with App.net, Budnitz says, is that its $50 per year membership was a highhurdle for people to get over. But it’s not clear how, even at scale, charging users $1 and $2at a time could turn into a sizable (nevermind profitable) business. The company’s investorsmight not be okay with that, but Ello’s founders are. Its manifesto states that Ello’s foundersare not interested in ruling the world: “We think people that are motivated to do things likethat have unresolved psychological problems.”

　　巴德尼茨认为，App.net失败的原因在于每年50美元的会员费实在是太贵了。不过我们现在还不清楚，哪怕Ello有再多的客户，光靠向用户一次收取1到2美元如何能演变成一个规模可观的生意(更不用提盈利了)。虽然投资人可能会对此感到不爽，但Ello的几位创始人却认为这样没什么不好。Ello的声明中表示，Ello的创始人对统治世界不感兴趣：“我们认为，一心想当老大的人，肯定有一些没解决的心理问题。”
