Aardvark the Social Search Service

Aardvark is a real time social search service that to take your question and attempt to find people who are able to answer. You often receive your results in a few minutes. It also acts as a middle man that forwards messages between people so they can have conversations with each other without the need to add them into their friendlist. This is useful if you want a weak short-term relationship just to find out some information.

I played with it for a while and asked questions related to various fields. The responses were prompt and useful. So far this service has not spammed me. I have not received any questions, yet whenever I posted a question, I got a prompt reply. This suggests the bot is quite careful in choosing the right one to ask.

This looks like a new idea, kind of Yahoo Answers in real time for the impatient. With this service, people can connect with each other in a more productive way.
