Get Free Tech Help

Thursday, June 22, 2006 19:59

Qunu is a service that started half a month ago. It allows you to find an expert on a subject that you need help with. You can contact that person in real time and get help for free. Later, if you feel like you, you can enter in some of your expertises and help someone. How's it different to other ask-an-expert services? It's different to the ones you've seen because with Qunu you don't have to wait around for your answer. You can ask the expert directly and get your answer immediately. What's more, you can ask follow-up questions, again, in real time. Also, if you're an expert in something and want to provide help to others, Qunu requests come in through your existing IM client software (finally!), so there's no need to monitor forums or websites anymore. How to get some help NOW: Simply enter your query into the search field above. Qunu will return a list of experts who are online and possibly able to help. Please be polite and considerate of their time -- you're getting it for free. I hope this company has a smart way for funding their operations so that this useful service stays alive. [ Link ]
