It's similar to Yahoo Answers or Ask Metafilter, with some new twists like real-time discussion, questions filtered for you, and IM integration.
Now that we finally completed it we're climbing out from our cave and wondering if the site can fly, and how we help attract people to it.
Any comments or advice?

- iamyoohoo 19y agoSo why would I use fluther.com instead of yahoo answers which has a lot more people answering. What is the unique proposition now that there are several others like askville.com (from amazon) and others that have significantly more traffic ? I want to answer the question, but didnt want to join another site - why can i not answer anonymously ? Just pointers to questions I ask myself as a potential user Hope it helps ...
- iamyoohoo 19y agoThe twists are good, but do I need them ? and it surely wasn't very clearly pointed out as your USP on the site - concentrate on your USP - make sure its highlighted ...
- jobenjo 19y agoYeah, that's useful to hear. Right now, certainly our user base is much smaller than the big guys, but that smallness also gives it a real sense of community--plus lots of our users are quite smart. This is a challenge, though. As far as anonymous questions/answers, we've thought about it a lot and we think it's a necessary tool in maintaining the community and ensuring people take it seriously. But it wasn't an easy call. Thanks for the feedback.
