Frankly speaking, I have not seen any better Question Answer service than Aardvark.  Best thing about it is that when I ask question, I am not waiting for others to see the question.  Rather Aardvark discovers the best person automatically who can answer my question.

aardvark_200x30Aardvark sends the question as an email, IM or an iPhone alert based on that person’s preferences to that person, asking if he/she can answer that.  If not it will find another one until the question is answered.  And believe me it all happens within minutes.  So there are very high chances that your question will be answered within 5 minutes.

Let me tell you I have not seen this kind of service on any other similar network.  Be it Yahoo! Answers, Mahalo Answers or any other similar thing.  Questions are just lying there unanswered.  And if your question is from a rare niche, then forget about getting any answer at all.

But with Aardvark, that is not the case.  You can ask question about anything from anywhere.

  • Use Twitter, send a tweet including @vark and #keyword to ask the question.

    Using Aardvark through Twitter

  • Use instant messaging (IM) like Gtalk, Yahoo! Messenger, AOL etc, send an IM to the Aardvark BOT.

    Example Gtalk

  • Use email, send an email to Aardvark.
  • Use iPhone, then use the Aardvark iPhone app to ask the question.

And yes, you don’t need to create another account as well to ask questions or answer (if you are so inclined) because Aardvark uses Facebook connect.  You will have to add your IM and email profiles to add the Aardvark BOTs though.

Asking Question

Answer Any Question

After you have connected your Facebook profile, you are all set to ask or answer questions through Aardvark.  You can ask question on any topic imaginable, be it Travel, Technology, Restaurants, Music, Movie, Book or even career related.  Go wild!!

Answers I have given

As I said earlier, the best thing about Aardvark is that it finds the people who can answer your question.  So if you are an expert on any subject then add that to your profile to answer questions on that subject from other Aardvark users.

My personal recommendation for you will be to give Aardvark a try and ask any question you may have, and see if you get your answer within 5-10 minutes.  Let me know you experience in the comments below.  And if you happen to use any other similar service, then please mention it too in the comments.  I will really appreciate to hear your experience about this great service.
