Aardvark's question-and-answer service gets a web interface

Aardvark is a service that using social networking to answer your questions. I've been using it for a while, and it definitely works when you need to find an answer, but using it over IM is a bit annoying. If you're signed up to answer questions, you'll frequently get IMs asking you about things you may or may not know anything about. That's why it's great that Aardvark now has a web interface at vark.com.

You can still use the IM service on top of the web version, but I just went ahead and turned it off. The threaded replies on the web are a lot easier to follow than an IM window full of multiple responses to a question, and the website is quite well-designed. To make getting started with Aardvark a little bit easier, you can sign in with Facebook Connect, and Aardvark gives you the option of using your Facebook interests as areas of expertise to target the questions you're asked.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
