Jelly social app answers Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's query about a mysterious spider in his bathroom.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not shy of using the services offered by competitors as long as it serves the purpose. Zuckerberg posted a picture of a creepy looking black and red spider sitting on what appears to be a toiletry bottle on Twitter co-founder's new Jelly search app. Along with the image, Zuckerberg posted a question that was answered by Jelly's Chief Operating Officer Kevin Thau in nine minutes, Business Insider reported.
"What kind of spider is this, and is it okay to let it keep living in my shower?" asked Zuckerberg in his first inquiry on Jelly.
"I think it's a Phidippus johnsoni. Probably want to relocate it out of the house," responded Thau, passing a link to the Wikipedia page about the spider. Based on the information provided, the spider found in Facebook boss's bathroom isn't as venomous as the similar looking redback spider.
The exchange of information was precise and to the point. Jelly creator and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone found the Q&A with the high-profile internet entrepreneur exciting enough to share a screenshot of the conversation on his Twitter account.

Jelly has been out for a week and is having a hard time attracting many users. The app is based on intense user-engagement that helps solve their queries and posts their questions with a picture attached to it. Anyone using the app can answer the question by simply tapping the answer button. The app hasn't received a positive response, which experts have called a poor way to compete with a search giant like Google.
