Getting the Answers You Need From AnswerBag.com

You’ve got questions? AnswerBag.com has the answers. Actually, AnswerBag’s million+ users have the answers and they love sharing them as quickly as possible. A wide variety of topics are available, so the likelihood of getting the answer you need is high.

I tested the service a bit with a few technical questions about computers. The answers were appropriately targeted with additional information available in the comments from others that go along with the threaded display of the information shared. I like this format as many times the information shared in comments by others provides additional viewpoints and options for answers to consider.

After my technology questions, I switched to questions related to education and homeschooling, something we’re considering as a family. Just like with the technology questions, AnswerBag’s participants provide answers that exhibit a level of expertise on the subject that’s very much appreciated.

AnswerBag delivers a resource that’s well suited for the Internet: information and people. I think the next step for online search is going to be really combining these types of human interactions along with search algorithms to get more than what a computer by itself can deliver.
