Fluther.com - Live Q &A

Q&A site Fluther taps the collective mind power of ordinary citizens like you. To sign up and benefit from the site’s brain trust you’ll have to fill out a short registration form. Once you’ve registered you’ll be able to submit and answer questions. The very cool thing about Fluther is the real-time interaction; you can discuss your questions with other Flutherers instantly. You will actually see when people are composing in a discussion. Answers may be commented on, flagged if inappropriate, and followed so you’ll always know what’s going on. Fluther works with IE, Mozilla and yes, Safari. There’s also an auto-completion feature for popular topics, and users can score each other. Questions can be on any subject matter, so ask away; someone will have an answer.

“Answers from people. We think there’s still nothing better than getting an answer from a person. So we made it easier. Just ask Fluther, and we’ll direct your question to people who can help. Simple, isn’t it? Ordinary experts. Imagine having five Uncle Franks to answer your car questions, eight Aunt Marthas to ask about astronomy and six Grandma Gerties to advise you on your garden dilemmas. Tapping into our collective is like extending your entire network of knowledge. And Fluther lets you share your massive brainpower with others. “

Unlike other question and answer sites this one actually works in real-time, which means you can interact and discuss the answers instantly with other members. The site’s also got a cute mascot, and an attractive layout. It makes Q&A much more interesting and lively.

Are questions vetted? Will the flagging really weed out fraudsters who haven’t a clue about what they’re talking about? Can the answers be trusted?
