Jelly, Biz Stone’s New Startup

So, do good... and brag about it?

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?

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.

What is it?

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!

It's a pretty big point of attraction. Blogger and Twitter are a pretty good track record.

aatifh 13 years ago | | |

Exactly!

That's the explanation Stone released today. Seems to be a mobile app focused on social good-doers.

"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

He talked about this project back in January with Charlie Rose. 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.

I look forward to hearing more about this.

Twitter acquired Vine when it was just a web page.

I doubt they're aiming to be acquired, but maybe you're joking. This will likely be funded by Obvious
