Blurtit---- Ask Anything

What Company Is Offering:

Blurtit is both a community, where people share interests and help each other, and a fast-growing database for knowledge of all kinds. Whenever you answer a question on Blurtit, you are giving something of lasting value. It's because they take this very seriously, that they ask you to take it seriously too.

How It Works:

As soon as you answer a question, you become a writer. They want you to think of yourself as a writer, your answer as an article and other Blurters as your readers (remember, that's potentially a huge audience). Whether you're helping with maths puzzles, sharing a recipe or advising someone on a personal problem, you are offering something unique; so your writing style should do it justice.

You'll soon know what your audience think of your writing thanks to the rating system. Good writers, who provide helpful and clear answers, soon find their ratings climbing up.

How It Works:

They make it easy for users to get rid of stuff they don't need anymore and find stuff they want for free. Every user gets free credits on signup and you can buy more if needed (10 credits for $1). You bid credits for things you want. So each thing goes to the person who wants it most!
