Answer boards and social searching

Have enjoyed this weeks activities. Posted heaps to Del.icio.us. Loved the taste website. Ranking and comments are a great way to know if something is going to work.Dymocks also use the customer also bought idea that Amazon have.

Answer boards are an interesting idea. Have looked at them before. Have never post a question but have looked at questions and answers posted by others. My only concern is that you can't be sure of the accuracy of the answer.

At work we have an ask a Local Librarian on the intranet. If a query can not be answered at the Advisory Desk or needs in depth research it can be sent to the Local Librarian. The person is then contacted with the answer. I guess this could be done in the Answer board format.
