New service combines IM and search
20 April 2005
A new live question and answer engine that connects people with questions to people with answers has been unveiled.
Wondir claims its new free service at www.wondir.com has the speed and simplicity of a search engine, but also goes beyond search to enable live and personal responses to questions.
"Sometimes it takes a village -- or more precisely -- someone in the village who can help you," said Dr Matthew Koll, founder and CEO of Wondir. "There are millions of people in the world who are eager to share their knowledge, experience, advice and opinions -- who want to reach out and help other people solve problems and answer questions. The key is getting the right question in front of the right people at the right time."
Wondir integrates advanced search, instant messaging, e-mail, database, categorisation, browsing, reputation systems and push and pull technologies to uncover good answers fast and to spark communication.
In a statement announcing the launch, Wondir said: "Anyone can ask. Anyone can answer. And everyone can share, since all of
the questions and answers are searchable immediately. Good answers can be found again whenever someone asks a similar question."
The official launch of the search engine follows three years of development and extensive public testing during which the Wondir community has produced more than one million questions and answers. More than 100,000 different people have answered questions, and more than 60,000 people are registered members of the Wondir community.
