Aardvark, its kind of like Yahoo Answers however not restricted to the walled garden of Yahoo members.
Matt (@griswold), our LA office strategist, VP, seaman and all round Renaissance man pointed me in the direction of Aardvark. I’ve always been a fan of Yahoo Answers and love the notion of mining answers across a broader community and multiple digital channels.
Opening this collective Q&A across site, messenger and twitter feels like a far more powerful offering
I especially like the inclusion of Messenger in the channels, really enforces the idea of an instant, online community, ready to assist. Especially in the younger audience, Messenger is the most ‘constant-on’ digital channel. I also found that rather than say Yahoo Answers, having real time Messenger chat enabled a more conversation approach, far closer to real life I guess.
Well worth taking 5 mins to sign up and test.
Wonder how long this stays independent. The guys behind it are ex Google and you can see how this would be a nice addition back into the Google stables.
