What's interesting is Facebook used to have an "Ask a Question" feature and shut it down due to lack of use.
Sometimes you need to keep striking the match until it lights.. but I don't quite get what they're fixing that Facebook's approach got wrong (obviously not the network?)

- joshu 13y agoI think there is also an interesting embarassment factor - I felt that people did not like to be seen needing help on Jig. People that asked for help did get lots of it. I also think the notification framework (posting to facebook would just get comments there, not on Jig; emailing people is annoying) is different for mobile rather than desktop use as well. I still like the idea a lot so I hope Jelly unlocks the idea.
