Got SXSW questions? Try asking Fluther

FlutherDownload Squad is hitting SXSW tomorrow, and we know some of you are going too. Before you head to Austin, though, you might want to check out the SXSW page at Fluther. Fluther is a live question and answer service, designed to draw on the collective knowledge of its users to help one another out, and they've launched a dedicated SXSW page.

There are a few good questions up so far, so give it a shot if you're wondering anything about SXSW or what to do in Austin. In case you're curious about what in the world a "fluther" is, the site explains that it's a group of jellyfish that all communicate with one another. Hey, that's one question answered already. While you're waiting for someone to answer yours, keep watching Download Squad for more SXSW coverage!

Live questions and answers with Fluther

questions and answers with fluther
