Sooooo, it's Quora/StackOverflow with anonymous mode by default and the wording "search" instead of "ask" and no gamification system?
I like it anyway,
any idea how it's supposed to scale? I mean we've all seen a bunch of knowledge bases that are pretty much useless as they reach thousands of almost-similar questions.
UI is buggy: can't edit an item in the "additional list", the cursor gets moved to the end after each stroke.

Yes, Jelly is Biz Stone's company, and this App is a "Re-pivot" back to the earlier release.
I really like Biz Stone's thinking around altruism (apparently we get the same good feeling from helping people as we do from winning money).
Using technology to promote altruism is potentially revolutionary, so I follow Biz and Jelly closely.

Q: "how to travel the amazon?"
A: "We got it! Sit back and relax, you’ll get answers soon."
So, because I'm a "busy" person I'm told to sit back and relax? Aawwww. thanks :)
Seriously: Is it a search engine or a frontend for mechanical turk? What exactly is the benefit of it?
