What is it?
- pablosanchez 13y ago
  That's the explanation Stone released today. Seems to be a mobile app focused on social good-doers.

    I think I've heard that pitch 500 times.

  Even the domain has been booked recently. DOMAIN: JELLYHQ.COM created-date: 2013-03-22 00:38:18 updated-date: 2013-03-22 00:38:21 Apparently, an "idea stage" venture. The only point of attraction is Mr. Stone!
  - jmathai 13y ago
    It's a pretty big point of attraction. Blogger and Twitter are a pretty good track record.
    - aatifh 13y ago
      Exactly!

So, do good... and brag about it?
- pablosanchez 13y ago
  Mmm... maybe bragging about it will not be the center of the idea. Let's see what Stone & team come up with. If that's the main thing... I don't think people will use it.
- waterlesscloud 13y ago
  Sure, why not? Why should people who do good not brag about it? If feeding egos incents people to make the world a better place, why not?

I look forward to hearing more about this.

a web page. pretty a.w.e.s.o.m.e

  Twitter acquired Vine when it was just a web page.

    i dare them to acquire jellyfish ;)
    - prezjordan 13y ago
      I doubt they're aiming to be acquired, but maybe you're joking. This will likely be funded by Obvious

"Jelly will be for everybody, it will be developed first and foremost for mobile devices, and it will be free." What does that even mean?

  He talked about this project back in January with Charlie Rose. http://www.fastcompany.com/3004361/a-conversation-charlie-rose-biz-stone-ev-williams http://www.fastcompany.com/3004361/a-conversation-charlie-ro...

    Must be real then. The April 1st post date and all the obligatory buzz words like "Mobile first" threw me off.

"People are basically good." I hope the product has a lot more going for it than this assumption, because if not, this seems like a very flimsy platform.

  To be fair, he can't be that honest. It also has Biz' wallet. If it wasn't for him, this wouldn't even be mentioned. Developers joining are probably guaranteed a year or two salary, no matter how bad it is. Beyond that, we have to know more about it
