Amazon Launches Askville

by Jason Bean on September 12th, 2007

It seems to me like it’s just a new coat of paint on an old idea. However, Amazon has just come and developed a new site with the same functionality on a new domain called Askville.

Did we need this from Amazon? How does this help their goals and business model?

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I should just ask that question at Askville.

UPDATE: I asked that question on Askville less than an hour ago and I’ve already gotten three responses. Pretty good traffic and activity for a brand new site and a very non-interesting question.

    Askville has been open for over a year! You might have just recently found out about it, but it’s been there….

    Wow! Did they just redesign and relaunch or has it been kept under the covers per se?
