Now you can ask Aardvark a question via Twitter:

Ask someone you trust with @vark? That’s right, Max Ventilla has created a way to have your social network of contacts answer your must know questions. For the socially shy, @vark acts as a go between so you won’t feel like a nag or a crowd-sourcer-er

Just include ‘@vark’ and a question mark (’?’) in your tweet

Aardvark will find the perfect person to answer, and Direct Message you their response in a few minutes

Now I know what you are asking, “Doesn’t Mahalo do something like that?” Yes it does but Aardvark uses your personal connects. Are they paid for the tip? Don’t know yet but I sounds like a different and fresh approach to getting answers from online people instead of online search engines.Have you tried it yet? – via Nokia E63
