It's been a long wait before the launch of the most awaited blockchain based social media ONO, which seemed to be the next generation of Facebook and was presented as the hybrid of Twitter, Telegram & Steem. After ONO's Chinese launch on Ethereum chain last April, I along with many others was waiting for the ONO's international launch on EOS chain since June. But we kept hearing one date after the other for its launch. I even joined their waiting list for the invite a couple of months back but didn't hear anything from them.
Earlier this week, I downloaded their Android app and signed up for their international version. But frankly, I was disappointed. Although the app was quite functional, sometimes a lot of hope around a product creates undue expectations in our minds. In initial days, the app was too slow to load and my wallet was also not synching to reflect the exact amount of Onots in it. But with time, the app has started functioning better.
Initially, a pathetic loading speed for ONO was a big turn off for me. But still I used to login every day to see if things has improved or not. Now I find it good enough to use it but I found another hurdle. Because of its very successful Chinese launch, it has acquired a huge Chinese user base in last 4 months. So I find almost all posts written in Chinese or Korean.
Of course, that's understandable but unfortunately, there is no way to translate those posts into a different language, which I could understand. So, I need to scroll a lot to find something interesting that's written in English. It's like diving into the deep sea in search of an oyster-pearl.
Therefore, I wrote my first post (in English) ranting about the absence of a translator tool for understanding all Chinese & Korean posts out there. Unexpectedly, the post received a lot of likes and comments on it. But none made any sense to me. You know why? Because ironically almost all of them were in Chinese or Korean!
Oh No! What an ONO!!! I think I need to wait for some while before my next login there.
