Barely new, it arrived, lookin’ sexy, lookin’ fly, brand new app, app inside, your iPhone, or Android device. It’s called Jelly, and it’s the much-hyped, long-anticipated new app born of a startup launched by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, who describes his largely superfluous, karmic-centric app – which boasts rich white dude investors like Al Gore, Bono and Jack Dorsey – as follows:
“Using Jelly is kinda like using a conventional search engine in that you ask it stuff and it returns answers. But, that’s where the similarities end. Jelly changes how we find answers because it uses pictures and people in our social networks. Jelly is designed to search the group mind of your social networks—and what goes around, comes around. You may find yourself answering questions as well as asking. You can help friends, or friends-of-friends with their questions and grow your collection of thank you cards. It feels good to help.
Any question on Jelly can be forwarded outside the app—to anyone in the world. Images are in the foreground of the Jelly experience because they add depth and context to any question. You can crop, reframe, zoom, and draw on your images to get more specific.”
“Also, it has the added benefit of being fun.”
But not as fun as cutting a rug while scatting some jazz. Substitutive human interaction? There’s yet another app for that.
