A modern Bebo alternative
Miss Bebo? Mello is a cosy, calm social network that brings back the bits you loved - without the noise.
Bebo was personal. You made your page your own, doodled on your friends' whiteboards, picked your Other Half and kept a Top 16 of the people who mattered. Then the big networks turned social media into an endless feed of ads, strangers and outrage. Mello is our answer: a small, friendly social network built around the things that made the old web feel like home - with no algorithm, no ads and no strangers.
What you loved about Bebo, brought back
Skins → Full-page themes
Dress your whole profile in a vibe, from sunny to after dark, not just a banner colour.
The Whiteboard → The Guestbook
Doodle on a friend's page and sign it, just like scribbling on someone's Bebo whiteboard.
Other Half → My People
Mark your closest people - up to three - and say what they are to you, rather than one fixed 'other half'.
Luv → The Bean Jar
Send a little bean to say 'you matter', in twenty hand-drawn flavours, collected in your jar.
Top 16 → Circle of Friends
A small, curated ring of the people who matter - no ranking, no popularity contest.
Not a clone - a calmer successor
Mello isn't a Bebo clone, and it isn't trying to be. It takes the spirit of that era - a page that's all yours, small circles, playful little touches - and makes it calmer and more private for today. Posting, commenting and liking are limited to friends you have accepted, there are no follower or view counts to chase, and your profile stays out of search engines. It is for people aged 18 and over who want somewhere gentle to keep up with the people they actually know.
