Got a Burning Question? Ask the Net - Pogue’s Posts Blog - NYTimes.com.
Last week, I stumbled upon a new, better way to harness the Net for answers: Vark.com. You send your question to Aardvark (the full name of the service) using a chat program like Google Talk/Gmail Chat, AIM, MSN or Yahoo Messenger (an iPhone app is coming soon), where you’ve added Aardvark as a buddy. You can also send a question by e-mail to aardvark@vark.com or on Twitter. At the moment, you have to have a Facebook account before you can get started; that’s how Aardvark gets its initial idea of your social network.
