How did you find out about Askpedia?
I was looking for an answer for a question and while googling I found your website. When I opened it I found great questions & answers and also awards for best answers which made me jump into the ocean of knowledge.
What motivates you to ask/answer questions?
First thing what motivates me is that I can get my questions answered right here from experts of different fields. I have met great experts like Dr. Richard, justthefacts, ilovegoogle, beerlover, jess, butrFlySara and many more.
Second is winning the best answers and sharing the rewards among ourselves. This motivates to give your best answers to questions.
Thirdly, I want to conduct surveys which I can do it here for minimum expense which would otherwise cost me tonnes of money.
What are some of your favorite questions/answers and topics?
My favourite questions are mostly about, Food, Finance, Business, IT, Careers and others.
What is your favorite feature on Askpedia?
Of course Surveys. This has given me a great medium to analyse data from experts from diversified fields.
How can we continue to improve Askpedia?
One thing I want to see improvement is not to award the best answer by just looking at highest rated answer if asker does not select a best answer. Once I noticed a wrong answer being automatically selected as best answer and there was no way I could point out that the answer was wrong. Also there should be some features where experts can chat or text message each other as sometimes you need to advise privately beyond Q&A from Askpedia.
Thank you to Shiv for taking the time to be the featured user thoughts with us. We agree with your suggestion about automatic selection of best answers and we'll look into ways of addressing it in an upcoming release.
