Amazon has moving into the space that Google has recently left by creating its own Answer portal. Called Askville it will work in the same manner; the press release from the main blog outlines its main functionality
As a valued Amazon customer, you’ve been specially picked to get an early look at a new website Amazon has just launched called Askville. Askville is a place where you can ask any question on any topic and get real answers from real people. It’s a fun place to meet others with similar interests to you and a place where you can share what you know.
You can learn something new every day or help and meet others using your knowledge. It’s new, and best of all, it’s free!
