While i like that you are supporting the product, and i applaud you for that. And your bits about twitter and FB make sense. But, when you say you want "Quora-like answers", well my first reaction is "why not use quora?". Isn't that the same thing? you post a question, and people answer it.



I was trying to say that someone could simply use "why not just use FB?" as a way to dismiss any new service built on a social network. I could've easily said that when Quora first launched. But now we see that Quora fills a particular niche that FB doesn't seem to excel at. Similarly, we may see Jelly carve out a corner for itself (whether it's for "spur of the moment answers service" or otherwise), a corner that FB may have overlooked or is just not currently built to handle properly.
