Ben & Jerry's on the Jelly App

Jelly is the new app from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone.  You sign in and connect to your Twitter and Facebook accounts, and then ask questions which your contacts (if they also have Jelly) can try to answer.  It's potentially useful for local queries ('does anyone know what this new restaurant is going to be?') but as with most things like this no one really knows what it will turn into in the long run.  At the moment it's quite good fun - a nice diversion.
