Created by Mosio, TwitterAnswers is an app that does exactly what it says on the tin.
You ask the question, and users answer!
They say:
Ask questions and get answers using Twitter.
Answered by other Twitterers and real people just like you.Twitter Answers is a Q&A Application mashup using Twitter and Mosio. It enables you to ask any question using Twitter and have it answered by real people.
Recent questions that have been answered include:
- Who sings “I kissed a girl”?
- Is it possible to have a heat induced migraine?
- How many udders does a female moose have?
- What is the current American / Canadian exchange rate?
Not very inspiring, I’m sure you’ll agree.
But let’s think of the business implications here. In much the same way as Linked In Answers works, you have access to a whole new set of people. What about posting questions such as:
- If you wanted XXXXX what would you search for in Google?
- Would you buy xxxx online?
- Does my website load quickly enough for you?
- Do you sell xxx, i’m writing an article about it
And that’s just off the top of my head. Like any mass communication tool, it has the potential to become spammy, but if used wisely you could tap into a whole new set of people – and who knows what will happen because of that?
