Live questions and answers with Fluther

by Chris Gilmer Jun 28th 2007

We sometimes like the comfort of getting an answer from a real individual rather than just searching for it in our favorite search engine, and Fluther understands that.

Ask a question to Fluther, and they will route it to the appropriate people. With their online service users simply ask a question, that question is sent out to get an answer from people that can help. Not only that, but if you have a specialty that you can help other users with, you can share your knowledge with others.

Sounds like a great idea, especially if questions can be discussed in real time with other members.

This has been tried many times before. What's so special about this site that will actually make it profitable?

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
