  • Private by default.
    Nothing will be publically visible without your say so. And we will make it easy for you to see and change settings.
  • Opt-in NOT Opt-out.
    You choose which new features and functionality YOU want.
  • No Spying.
    We will not scan ANY personally identifiable data. We will not scan emails and messages for keywords.
  • No Advertisements.
    We don't rely on adverts, so we don't and won't, have a need to spam your wall, emails etc. with horrible unwanted adverts.
  • You are NOT our product.
    No adverts mean we are 100% focused on providing you with added value services. As it should be.
  • No Sale.
    We will never sell any data that identifies you personally.
  • Your Profile: Your Choice.
    Customise colours and choose different background images. We are NOT all alike.
  • Modular.
    TheDownLow allows you to choose the bits of information you want to see, where you want to see them.
  • Complete Control.
    You get three choices when viewing content. View using YOUR style, the site default, or using the intended style.

How many people have signed up already?
As the site is not open to registration there are no 'users' as such. The recent Gizmodo article was the first real public mention of the site. (As at 17 March 2013) There are around 500 people in a FB group, and similar numbers on the mailing list.
Why doesn't this website give a list of new functionality?
We will release details of functionality (current/in development/planned) as soon as we start offering beta access to the site.
If you are a member of press, we can give you some information under strict embargo, to whet your appetite.
When can I get in?
The service will be invite only, so make sure you register your email to stay in the loop.
If there are no adverts, how will you make money?
Our business model is based on providing great standard functionality and added value services, that we hope you will want to access.
Will there REALLY be no adverts?
No adverts at all. We want to provide you services you want, not sell you products that you don't.

Great response from Gizmodo Article
Last week Gizmodo published an article http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/03/why-im-building-a-new-social-platform/ that was written by myself. Although dubious about releasing any information about what we are doing so early on, Im happy to report we have had a great response. Plenty of signups on the email list, and thousands more visits to the site. Thanks Giz (and Kat)!
Events and Ticketing Mockups Complete.
We have just put the finishing touches to the wireframes for the first version of our event ticketing software.

Utilising our new Agile PM tool we have now planned the next release. We have decided on monthly release planning to spur us on, and to keep things fresh. Watch this space.
