Hey sgdesign - thanks for the comments! We wanted to take a different focus and offer a more conversational format for users vs. an iAmA style site.
We talked to the guys behind AnyAsq a while back and they're working on some other cool things not in Q&A - we're big fans of the team.
Although Askolo looks better and nicer to use, so hopefully it'll stick around. I just created my profile, ask me some questions about design!
