Attractive to the eye.
Popular among social groups.
But enough about that bloke.
What’s all this Jibbr jabber?

Jibbr is a new irish-made app to help friends organise activities and request favours from each other. I thought broadsheet readers might be interested.
Basically Jibbr was designed to help people get together and waste time with their friends in the real world and not on social media…
I left university and founded Jibbr in early 2014, The problem (pre-Jibbr) came from the fact that it’s a pain in the bottom organising stuff with friends.
Think about the back and forth calls and texts, last minute changes, key information getting lost in chat strings and timelines…..it’s social media not being so social and that’s why we created Jibbr. The app makes it easy to request favours from friends and to organise Activities.
We’re funded privately to date and launched our beta in December 2014. We quickly realised we needed some tweaks, the reliance on Facebook registration was removed because no one has 700 actual friends! Phone contacts are the personal network that we go for a pint with, call upon when we need help and they’re the ones that we ultimately trust, Jibbr makes it easier for people to leverage and organise their most important network.
The app is in the stores for iOS and Android. Just visit here from your phone to download.
We’re also using an ambassador program to help spread the Jibbr message and we’re actively REcruiting ambassadors who can register their interest through link below. Thank you.
Fair play in fairness.
FIGHT!
How does this honestly differ from creating an event on Facebook?
everything is a derivitive of facebook .. snapchat, is just sending pics, can do that on whatever .. instagram is just sharing pics, can do that on facebook and twitter, twitter is really just short status updates, like a restricted version of facebook .. theres no need for most apps really, most can be done on facebook. but they all work and have all been a success so.. i dunno.. people just want new things i suppose. i think its a good little idea.
Think of apps / social networks a bit like night clubs… what’s cool to hang out in for some a few years back was Facebook, but for many new kids, it’s Snapchat and Tumblr and whatever…. and it continually changes as new apps pop up, each hoping to diofferentiate themselves with something unique-ish… Snapchats uniqueness was its alleged privacy and automatic deletion of messages once viewed, and we’ve all heard stories of how that’s a load of lies and bullcrap…. my tuppence.
The Ronnie James of typos right there!^
Presumably his idea is that he will develop a concept, maybe even get a few users & then sell it on (maybe to Facebook),
Seems like something someone with no good friends would use..
*cough*whatsapp*cough*
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
twitter is just limited facebook status’s .. and its mega big .. the app world is weird and cluttered.
Don’t forget Viber…
My phone contacts include my dentist, hotels I’ve stayed at, former work colleagues, etc. and just because I might want to use the service doesn’t mean that people on my contact list would want me to give their personal details to Jibbr (same goes for many other contact-slurping apps).
Anyone else hear about that bloke in Wexford who developed an App that finds and deletes all your social media presence in one go? Ideal for people who want to stop using social media and deleted their profiles or just start again.
The Big Four heard of it and were trying to buy it so they could kill it. He refused.
Then strangely he gets arrested for assaulting a stranger (who he says provoked him in the toilet of his local pub). Now he was a criminal record which in turn has seriously impacted his development of the App.
Good, but you need to give your third act a bit more oomph.
I think he only made it as far as page 21.
No. Nobody else heard about him because he doesn’t exist. And if the big four read this, you won’t either.
to me, the big four are chicken, beef, pork and lamb. and i love them all.
link?
Good username, btw.
Only exists in Mr T.’s fevered imagination
That’s not true Rob_G, a young, middle class, FG water protestor told him ‘cos Mick Wallace told him to tell him.
Why would PwC, EY, Deloitte or KPMG give a poo about online social network presence?
I guess they havent seen https://teamer.net/
I think the next logical step is add the word ‘double’ to the start of that.
And “I hardly know ‘er!” onto the end
I’m starting to think that Ted Kazynski was onto something.

Cheers Dave, I have pointed this out too Alex.

Sorry Dave, I must off missed that.
Jibbr?
As in he / she gives a good hand jibber?
Sounds risky.
You could add Viber to that …for the buzz like.
Anyone else trying to ‘de-app’ their lives?
The premise of this really seems convoluted and unnecessary.
Totally. Like, carry a map in your pocket, a newspaper and a book in your other pocket. Who cares what time the bus is at? Just turn up, enjoy the view and read your huge map.
I just use Whats App and others use Viber
Market is crowded already…
What makes this different from Bro, the app where you can send the word “bro” to all the Bros in your social network?
Bro
Bro!
Bro?
Bro
Sis
It’s like a Christian Brothers’ convention here this evening.
Wah if you ain’t got no Bros, bro?
Brah!
Do you even brah?
Bru
