I'm beginning to think the team at Firespotter Labs are marketing geniuses. Prior to launching their new iPhone app Jotly (you know, as a joke), they released a�hilarious video featuring a "fake" app by the same name. In the video, a guy goes around rating things like parking meters, hiding spots, ice cubes, and a beer in the alley that was left in the sun (F-, if you're curious). The video was meant to be a parody of our mobile/social app obsession, and perhaps our culture's�tendency�towards over-sharing. It also was strikingly similar�to Kevin Rose?s�Oink, which launched soon after. But here's the thing: Jotly is no longer a joke. The company (also the maker of Nosh), has just released the Android version of Jotly. And an API, too.
