Amazon just launched its own questions and answers service in beta
called Askville. Yup, just like you've seen elsewhere. You have to have an Amazon sign-in and you can ask questions or answer questions people post. Odd that Amazon sees a future where Google did not. What am I missing here? Yahoo! is doing well with its service in the same vein, so apparently there is some pull to such services. Amazon's seems to be very Web 2.0 and purdy, if you are into the answers sort of thing. The Grinch has nothing on me, not a thing. Perhaps he should have asked Amazon's Askville why the Whos are so happy. I'll bet he would have gotten his answer faster than ruining Christmas. Dumb Grinch.

Yahoo Answers is an awful mess. So far, nothing beats Ask Metafilter.

The big question is: will Amazon's service be overrun with idiots like Yahoo's was? And will they kick people off for asking slightly risqué questions? (I was barred after asking, in all earnestness, how to make convincing fake poop.)
