Askville
I got an email from Amazon to try out a community web site they’re launching: Askville. At first glance it looks like a search engine, but you’re supposed to be able to ask any type of question for any topic and other people can answer you in real time. I guess this is a variation of a forum. I wonder if they’ll allocate a staff just to answer questions, inanely or not, until it develops a self-sufficient community.
