How about Twitter???! Yes, believe it….Read on…
This Twitter ride is just getting wilder and wilder. Enter ToAnswer.
Twitter Meets Yahoo! Answers. Now I ask questions on Twitter allthe time. The answers I get, come from the “braintrust” that isfollowing me – so the quality of the answers is correlated to theintelligence, willingnesss and aptitude of those “followers” to enrichmy life with their wisdom.
ToAnswer extends the “Twitter model” and mashesthat up against a website that non-twitter users can also interactwith, ask questions and/or consume via an RSS feed. This is not justuseful, but “if the people come”, could be something to make Yahoo!Answers worried about. Of course, I don’t see why Yahoo would not justadd Twitter to their service. I would digg that!!
Here is a great article that I just dug up that not only talks about toanswer, as it is appropriately titled 5 Ways To Get Your Questions Answered On Twitter.
Oh, one small watchout with ToAnswer – it’s “freshly built”,apparently by a lone developer, and I just had to refresh a couple oftimes before the site came up. So “be nice”…it is $free$ after all.
