Launching Fluther.com - Comments from YCers?

Re:Launching Fluther.com - Comments from YCers? by iamyoohoo on Friday June 22, 2007 @03:15PM (#30117)

So 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 ...

Yeah, 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.

The 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 ...
