Remember when Biz Stone launched Jelly, but couldn’t get the @Jelly Twitter account? The company has it now:
Jelly had initially made the guy who had the account an offer, but he declined. All the while, he continued to have to point people to the @askjelly account, which Jelly settled for. I guess he got tired of it.
As of the time of this writing, @askjelly no longer exists.
We’ve reached out to the old @Jelly about the situation, and will update accordingly.
Update: Original @Jelly tells us he did not receive any money for the Twitter handle, and that he’s had fun following up on all the midirected tweets.
“After using the Jelly App for a while I decided the name was better served with jelly.co,” he says.
Also, The @askjelly Twitter account is back online, but now simply directs people to @Jelly.
Thanks to John Elia @J_W_L_E our new handle is @Jelly.
