Biz Stone is bringing forth the failed Jelly social network, once again. The original app, which was launched in 2014, allows people to ask questions from Twitter and Facebook friends.
With the Jelly, its users could capture photos of anything and ask friends from other social networking sites about what its species is. They could also post a restaurant snapshot and ask if it is good or not. The post is also visible within the Jelly app so other users can answer. Unfortunately, people were not yet prepared for Stone's Jelly start-up, and fizzled out, Macworld reported.
Jelly is revived, but is now selling itself as world's first and only search engine with an opinion and attitude. Stone, the founder, wrote via Medium, "Only Jelly can say you asked the wrong question. Only Jelly can give you answers you wanted but didn't think to ask. Only Jelly will deliver a thoughtful answer to your anonymous question; all because Jelly is humanity plus technology."
According to the creator, the app bears no traces of artificial intelligence. He instead hinted that a routing algorithm is integrated to make sure that questions are delivered to the right people, who can accurately answer the inquiries.
After a closed beta, the Jelly app is already available via its official website and the App Store. Those who wish to use the app can create an account, bookmark questions and check for responses later on. If there are no current inquiries, users can also explore topics like travel, restaurants, health, and relationships to name a few.
Any Jelly user can also gain information on how to make peanut butter or learn the most efficient software for music downloads. The app based on good faith and altruism, also requires its subscribers to name a few subjects they are experienced or expert on.
Jelly 2.0 is Stone's third a mobile app attempt since he departed from the famed app Twitter in 2011. Between the first two versions of the Jelly app, he also co-launched Super, another social-focused app. The app allowed its users to superimpose texts on images. They can even stylize the superimpositions if they want.Watch the video for more Jelly 2.0 information.
