Aardvark iPhone app answers questions on the go
Aardvark, a service that uses social networking to find answers to your questions, now has an iPhone app. Aardvark starts with Facebook Connect, finds your friends who are using it, and then branches out into friends of friends and the whole network of Aardvark users. You can ask questions and receive answers via IM or the web. The iPhone version is extra-useful, because questions don't always come up when you conveniently happen to be in front of a computer. You can use the Aardvark iPhone to both ask and answer questions, and select categories to help connect you with the right people. Aardvark claims that most questions are answered in under 5 minutes, after asking 6 people and getting 2 responses. I tested it by asking for a recommendation about banks in Seattle, and I got a useful response after about 15 minutes. GigaOM had better luck asking about cabs in San Francisco, getting an answer in less than 5.
