Jelli [Screenshot Guide]

So I found a new site called Jelli via Lifehacker about a month ago and I think its about time a site like this arrived.

Jelli is 100% user-controlled radio℠, enabling users to take over a radio station using their web browsers. Leveraging the power of the web to reinvent traditional broadcasting, Jelli empowers the community to interact with the broadcast in real-time and determine dynamically what plays on the air. - http://www.jelli.net/about/

Today I am going to take you through how you can start using Jelli and enjoy all that musical goodness. I will be covering how to create a account, how to tune into a radio station, how to control the radio, and how to add some detail to your profile.

Clicking any image will make it bigger.

Create an account

The first time you visit the site you get the landing page. From here you can create an account or login. Setting up an account is just as easy as any other website, just click on the I WANT IN button that is in the green box to the right.

You will be presented with two options. With Facebook and without Facebook. This is totally up to you. If you select the Facebook option then you will enjoy the options to post to your wall and also a quick login with the login with Facebook option on the landing page (if you are already logged into Facebook).

Jelli won’t ask for anything private from you during the creation process. The closest thing to anything private is your Zip/Postal code and your birth year. And these are just to find out where their users are coming from and the approximate age of their users to help form the site better in the future. Continue reading →

Many people think that because I have closed the doors on Durham Networks that I am not into computers anymore. Well your wrong. I love computers.

I will still fix your computer or make you a website, I will just do it on a smaller scale (and a cheaper price).

So dont forget, if its computer or web related you know who to call. ME!!! :)

Why US Only????

If you are like me, Canadian and a Web Geek, you have noticed that all of the good Internet content is available to the US only. Some examples of this are Hulu.com, Zune Marketplace, Netflix, and Pandora are just to name a few. If you go to any of these sites from within Canada the site will try to detect your IP address and reference it to a GeoIP program. If the program tells the site that you are not from the US they will block you out.

But WHY???

If these sites did not have the GeoIP program they would not know where you are from and would let everyone into the site. Also if they did not get the GeoIP program they would get a big Federal charge against them because of Copyright Laws. You see all of the content on the site is licenced for use inside the US only and can be a pain to re-licence all of the content for all other countries. So in all laziness and confusion they won’t.

I have yet to hear of any website that blocks content from Canada to the US. I think someone should start a web company like the ones listed above and block out only the US and let other counties enjoy the content.
