Jelly = Search + Social?
I call 2014 the “Year of the Ephemeral Networks“. We had a glimpse of this back in 2013 with Snapchat, Whisper, and ultimately Bitcoin too (in concept).

A lot of changes are happening starting from 1st January. However, amidst all the changes, it seems like quite a few people (and companies) have forgotten about one key change that’s happening sometime soon on Facebook.

2013 – Top 5 brnrd.me Articles
The first full year for brnrd.me is over. A lot went on in 2013 – I’ve moved the blog across platforms (from WordPress to Medium, to Svbtle, then Ghost, then back to WordPress, because who am I kidding); I’ve redesigned it many a time (and I’ve finally found a design that I’m completely happy with, […]
