TrendCentral: Curation and crowdsourcing are the key concepts behind Jelli, an app that offers choosy listeners a collective, collaborative radio experience. Jelli provides a centralized portal for preexisting radio frequencies, putting a station’s playlist on display and giving listeners the opportunity to vote songs up or down in the rotation. This democratized approach takes the radio DJ out of the equation (as predicted by Tom Petty); in essence, every track played is a request. Listeners also have the power to stop a song mid-play, turning traditional radio programming into a sort of Gong Show for the airwaves (and striking fear into the hearts of Beliebers everywhere).
