When a user asks a question, Aardvark looks at that person’s Facebook profile to see who is in the individual’s extended network, and what they might be able to answer questions about, based on profile activities and interests. This means of course that you do need to sign up to use the service, but with Facebook connect integration it takes a matter of minutes. You then are sent a response via email or IM, at least that is what’s supposed to happen. In my tests I waited at least 10 minutes and still received no response to “What is the best steak house in London?”. Naturally, we expect the answers to these questions to eventually be made available to the public which is where Aardvark then creates its real value. Cool huh?

This is the current world’s view of communication. Media options that were 5 channels in 80’s years, are now more than 25. An explosion of information.
The good part is that was never as easy as hitting the target now. With appropriate knowledge and proper use of each channel, the shot is accurate.
