Twitter's
founder Biz Stone launches Jelly Social Q&A app for iPhone and
Android users. The Jelly App is a question-and-answer-based search
engine where users can ask questions, post pictures and share messages
with friends.
"If you have a question, there’s someone
out there that knows the answer," Stone says in a video accompanying
the official blog post. The app encouraging users to post photos and ask
questions about what they're seeing instead of traditional search. "In a world where 140 characters is
considered a maximum length, a picture really is worth a thousand
words," the blog post reads.
According to the site, Jelly works with
your existing friends network and searches within your social group. The
site allows you to pose questions outside your group as well and users
can also post pictures or images and ask what it is. The app which gives an instant feedback
after just a snap can be a very useful tool for marketers. Stone doesn't
rule out the business application but states that right now it just
wants the users to have a valuable experience and will explore the
monetization option somewhere 'down the line'.
The official blog post reads, "No matter
how sophisticated our algorithms become, they are still no match for
the experience, inventiveness, and creativity of the human mind. Jelly
is a new way to search and something more–it makes helping other people
easy and fun. We hope you find Jelly as useful and rewarding as we do."
