>>stuff like obvious calls for homework help
Several people have written to us and asked permission to re-use our software for sites focused on homework help. There are already many, many sites where students can hire tutors, but most of those sites involve hiring a tutor for some hours, and paying some hourly rate. The gamble that some people have talked to us about is the possibility that some students would be willing to pay $1 or $2 or $5 or $10 for quick help with specific questions about math, science, or other subjects. Especially at the college level, it becomes possible to imagine some students wanting quick help with a specific question, or possibly needing help with a concept they having trouble understanding, for instance, perhaps some complicated math problem.
So, certainly, I think homework questions are potentially a great area where this software might be able to do a great deal of help.
