From the page: "Jelly works with your existing social networks."
My understanding was that it works as an addon to facebook or twitter or whatever. Maybe one of the creators is floating around here and can clear this up.
- minimaxir 13y agoI believe it implements Facebook Connect and the Twitter Followers API, as with nearly every startup since the social networking boom in 2008. EDIT: The app uses friends of friends on Facebook, and also the Twitter Followings of your Facebook Friends.
- tommi 13y agoSeems like the landing page is full of fluff. All I see are feel good sentences about helping each other, Albert Einstein, etc. The big down side is this: "“What’s this?” That query is submitted to some people in your network who also have Jelly". I have +400 friends on Facebook. Out of those, maybe 3 will install Jelly to try it out. Even with taking friends-of-friends taken in to consideration, it's just a very limited set of people. Would I really want to use this app to post a question that I can probably find answer just by looking a map, doing a google search or posting to Facebook/Twitter?
- sdk16420 13y agoI'm following a lot of Twitter and other SF tech people on Twitter, and I had tons of questions waiting. Maybe it will stick for a some people, but indeed, I don't think most people have enough questions to check this kind of app often.
