    I think "Jig" is a great site. We always see those annoying people who post stuff like "I need a good book for AP English" or "What is the square root of 47?" Well, at least I do.
    Knowing that now, there is a site where not only I can get my questions answered, but my curious friends can too, is great. I think I will definitely be using this site.

  2. At first I thought it wasn't a very original idea because it is so much like Yahoo answers and Google but as I read on I realized that this was in fact convenient.

  3. A Jig seems really pointless. Alot of other sites have done the same thing but i think these guys who created Jig are just trying to get a quick buck.

  4. The social networking site could be very useful. It is very unique and could help many people. As long as people don't mess around and try and be funny, things should be fine.

  5. I think that "Jig" is a very interesting concept but, that it'll work very well. Many people have questions they want answered but, may not know anyone that can answer them. With "Jig" that won't be a problem because they can get answers from people everywhere that might have experience on that topic.

  7. I think jig will be unique and will get students questions answered fast. It will be good for students. If no one messes with the site then it should be good. I will like it when i can get my questions answered.

  8. Jig seems like a very useful site, because people like to know what others think. It'll be like getting a warining before you do something. getting helpful advice is always good when wanting to try something new. people are akways looking for good advice.

  9. At first it didn't seem very helpful but as i read on I sorta started thinking it might actually help people out. it sounds a bit like it's been done before and like they just want attention and to be reconized.

  10. I think that jig could be beneficial to the mass of people because it is a whole website dedicated to helping people with the little things. For example,"What's a good place to eat? What's a good book to read?". These are all important question to the person asking but not necessarily to the person reading on a site like facbook or twitter. That is why I believe that Jig would be good.

  11. I believe this website would be very useful in the future because it was right that many things cant be solved when using Facebook. Also since its adding the create new profile will make sure you know who's helping you out and you might even make new friends.

  20. I think Jig is a great new idea. I think it will be very sucessful because its a friendly site that just helps people ask questions and get correct and well thought out answers. facebook and yahoo are just too open and dont give accurate answers but this seems like a new easy way to get help.

  21. I believe jig will become a site just for answers just like yahoo answers. But it may become reliable source to get your question answered. Also I may use this sometime.

  22. I do think that the website has an interesting idea, but other websites already do the basic function of this site and more. I would not like to have to go to an extra site when I could use a site that does what it can do and more.

  23. I knew what the 3 basic colors were, and how you got secondary colors, but i never understood the harmony part. This helped me understand it a little bit more. It was a simple article on colors, nothing outstanding, but somewhat interesting.
