fun online quizzes

Quibblo! A very simple name for a very interesting Web 2.0 service that offers, totally for free, fun online quizzes and similar stuff. Quizzes, polls and so on can be hosted on the Quibbo website or simply can be integrated (as a widget) in your preferred blogger platforms (wordpress, blogger, myspace and so on). Creating a new quiz is extremely simple. From the dedicated page you must select what kind of quiz you want to implement: a poll, a survey, a quiz or a personality test (in our example I will create a quiz). Compile then the required fields like the quiz description, tags, language, category....create your questions (you can create more than just one question) with the related answers (default is 4 but you can increase or decrease this number) and watch your creation...if you like it, sign in with the service and publish it! Obviously, to bring people to your creation, you should publicize it: from the quiz/poll page simply add it to the most important social network sites (Stumbeupon, delicious, digg) or, better, integrate it into your blog. A very nice service...especially because is totally free!

Fixya

FixYa was founded by two entrepreneurs who decided to take advantage of the fact that consumer products manufacturers are not providing adequate support through their web sites. Although these products become more and more technologically advanced, their manufacturers are not allocating the necessary resources that are required in order to provide good technical support. Like any other consumer out there, FixYa's founders had a hard time finding relevant and updated support information for their printer or digital camera, and therefore decided to create this site. The idea behind FixYa is to aggregate all support information that is scattered throughout the internet in a single user friendly location. In addition, FixYa is a huge knowledgebase that is constantly updated by a live community of users who share their experiences of technical problems and solutions. Through the site's unique rating system, FixYa is allowing users to find the best solution for every problem and even offer a new solution. Our aim is that over time, FixYa will offer the best solutions for the most common problems of each and every product the site is covering. The best thing about our knowledgebase is that it's based on true user experience rather than on projected FAQs by the manufacturer.

WhatShouldIsay

TinBag

Tinbag’s business model, oddly, is to charge people asking questions and deliver part of the fee to the person answering the question. This is a model that flat out failed at Google, which pushed their own version of a for-pay Q&A site for 4+ years before finally killing it off late last year. Tinbag’s approach is only slightly different than Google’s. The idea is to allow experts to set up a site (example) on Tinbag and let people ask questions for a fee. It reminds me of Ether, which allows people to set up a phone number and take calls for a fee, but is purely text based. There’s nothing at Tinbag that is different enough from Google Answers to suggest that it will be successful. A simple Google search or a trip to Yahoo Answers is all most people need to do for online help. Normally we’d pass on writing about a startup like Tinbag, but I want to point out that if Google failed at a business model after 4 years of trying, there’s a good chance you’ll fail with a look alike service, too.

Vouchon

vouchon.com is a place for answers. More importantly though, when you ask others to vouchon, you're asking them to stand behind their suggestion. It's the 2007 equivalent of the 'ol spit-in-the-palm handshake. If you'd like, you can call it Handshake 2.0 (but we'd rather you didn't). When you vouch for something, you're recommending it based on experience. That's what vouchon is all about.

Linkedin Answers

a service similar to Yahoo Answers that lets you ask questions to members of your network. You enter your question, pick the members of your network who are likely to know the answer and receive answers from your connections, their connections, and experts who use LinkedIn - presumably LinkedIn emails these members, which could increase yet again the high volume of mail received from LinkedIn. You can browse the questions by category and gain expertise points every time the question asker picks your answer as the best one. The top experts then appear in a ranked list. Unsurprisingly, most of the questions are currently about finding referrals and connections.[www.mashable.com]

ChaCha

ChaCha, a social search engine that pays users to find answers to questions, is set to launch in Alpha today. As well as traditional algorithmic search, ChaCha offers the ability to have an on-site IM conversation with a “guide”, who will then go out and find the information for you. They’re launching with over 2500 guides, including college students and stay-at-home moms. What’s more, these users need to climb a hierarchy before they can get paid. Everyone starts as an apprentice, and must pass a series of tests before they can move up to Pro and interact with the public. The next level is “master”, while the top level is “elite”. Pros are paid $5/hour, while Elite users receive $10/hour, plus 10% of their network’s earnings. ChaCha also includes a MySpace-style social network called the ChaCha Underground. Users have profile pages with pictures of their sponsor, their buddies and members of their network (eg. people they are sponsoring). And while ChaCha will be ad-supported, they’re also leveraging the social network to earn a little extra cash - there’s a catalog section filled with products that come recommended by the site’s guides (complete with affiliate links, of course).
