Goodbye MeWe and October, it was a boring week.

MeWe and October are the first sites/apps to be eliminated from my attempt to use new social network / posting / communication platforms. They both have some novel ideas, but not nearly enough features or users (even strangers) to make it worth my time to be an early adopter. I might check them out again in the future, but for now my "sites to visit / read / post to before or in addition to Facebook" bookmark folder is down from 8 to 6.

I saw some folks talking about MeWe, over on FB. So I guess at least a couple people I know have tried it. How was the experience?

It doesn't have public posts or friend filters; every post has a privacy level of "visible to my contacts".

Groups have chat rooms in addition to their post walls.

Pages for organizations are FB-like.
