Why use Aardvark?

A real conversation with a friend (or friend-of-friend) can be much more helpful than searching the web — all the knowledge and experience in people’s heads can’t be put on a web page!

With Aardvark, there’s nothing to download or install: just send Aardvark a message through IM, like you do when talking to a friend.

Aardvark figures out who might be able to answer, and asks on your behalf — Aardvark is the hub.

It’s all about people helping each other out!

What does the press say?

Aardvark's advice is always current, obtained on the fly from those we trust, like friends, but whose collective expertise far exceeds that of the relatively few people we happen to know personally... a great fountain of hitherto untapped information.
Randall Stross, New York Times

I’ve spoken with a handful of people who have been using the product for the last month or more — every one of them is wildly enthusiastic about it.
Michael Arrington, TechCrunch

That’s the new revolution that’s going on, a new type of search engine that effectively indexes the knowledge of those you know, so that you can query and get quick answers back from those people.
Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land

My spidey senses go off about once every year or two. They are off the chart on this company.
John Battelle, John Battelle’s Searchblog
