I received an email from Amazon introducing Askville. It appears to be a very Web 2.0 social website that combines consumer generated knowledge (like Wikipedia) and looks to maintain community and status via “experience points.” Let's see if the content and community help it grow because as MySpace proved, you don't need a good looking site to get millions to flock to it.
Generally, I like the concept of Askville, it seems like other, earlier bulletin boards, but uses more technology to filter out, or tag, those that may be helpful -- and more importanlty those that are not.
After the rush of the holiday season, I will explore it in greater detail.
Happy holidays and best wishes to all of you for a safe and happy new year.
