We launched Jinni in a limited private beta on Monday. After many months if not years of work, it’s exciting to start hearing from users and reading about people’s thoughts on our service. Thanks so much to everyone who came to check out Jinni. We can’t wait to hear more, develop more, and welcome more people to Jinni!

Here are some of the great explanations and interesting insights (not to mention smart suggestions) about Jinni on blogs around the web.
