I just came across a very cool web service called Aardvark (http://vark.com).
The premise is that you sign-up as an “expert” in your areas of knowledge. The interface is cool and simple… Ask or Answer.
Click on Ask and Aardvark will go out and find an expert to answer your question. Click on answer and you are presented with three initial questions that you might be able to answer. I found that I was able to answer one of them and give the person asking a clear and precise answer. Since I didn’t know the answers to the other two, I simply skipped them. I could have also referred the question to a friend or someone in my network that I know has the answer to the question.
Sign-up was super-easy! It interfaces seamlessly with Facebook and asks you a few simple questions and you’re on your way. You can expand your network via Facebook and possibly other tools that I haven’t yet discovered.
In any event, I highly recommend a visit to Aardvark. You just might help answer an age-old question or help somebody on the spot with something they need right away. The return benefit is the same for you.
