Ibrahim This question is tagged as "Turkey". It should be "turkey". You should be able to differentiate those two given this context.

is really trying vrey hard not to be "snarky with vark", but thinks all this answer proves is that some vark-sters have exceedingly too much free time. Vark needs to "aim higher" when trolling for compliments. Kinda sad, really.

Every conversation you have on Aardvark has a link that you can share with friends. Looking at recently shared links, I’ve seen many awesome conversations that have given me some great insight, or just made me laugh out loud. Here are some of my favorites - the helpful and the humorous:
Jon Wollenhaupt

Jon Wollenhaupt Max Ventilla, Founder and CEO, Aardvark, talks about his path to entrepreneurship during the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour (EET) event at San Francisco City College. Ventilla, 29, was voted one of Newsweek’s Top Tech Entrepreneurs of 2009. EET brings the country's top young entrepreneurs to colleges and universities to educate and motivate students, and to spread the entrepreneurial mindset.

I work for a software company. I'm a new employer (2 yrs). I wanna move to a new group as I wanna do something more interesting and challenging. But I don't know how I should go about doing that. Any suggestions in terms of the steps I need to take for internal job movement?

While I am a guide keep in mind I was only looking to find new ways to better the job I do (both for ChaCha and my other job) I wasn't downplaying the quality of your service or those who use it. :) I appreciate your detailed response though.

I've always thought Vark's USP is that it helps find answers to things where no one else has thought to ask the question yet.
Google/Cha Cha and various other "pay people to find answers" style solutions work best when the answer is definitive, already existing and potentially written down already.

Jeff Hedberg to new users... ask questions that you can't answer yourself please.... 'should I buy a new xxx?' Really? Did you really just ask _me_ that? How should I know?!

Martin new users: if you're asking technical/computer questions please always include Operating System/Software being used (just like in tech forums) like-> (iMac 24" 3.0Ghz Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Final Cut) how do i create a multicam edit?

Example: If someone asks, "how do I get the ghost out of my bedroom" and you think people who believe in ghosts are idiots, then move on to another question, don't call them an idiot. Aardvark is about helping others - not insulting them.

This stems from when I had a question regarding psychology and someone proceeded ...to send me insulting "answers" that included name calling because he did not believe the issue I was asking about was legit - that's fine, but show some respect and just move on to another question.Read More

Nick Hodgson As well as asking lots of questions, take the time to update your knowledge areas and answer questions as well. Give back to the Vark by going to the website occassionally and trying to answer some of the outstanding questions.

If you can as well, provide links for people in your answers so they can source the information on the web, I find it opens up a world of information very quickly!

Dannis Cole Don't be afraid to ask a question...somebody's bound to answer it, but if they don't, try to ask something more general or more specific, if you can. Try it diff ways....

Great piece of advice. One of the really nice things about Aardvark users is that so many of them are happy to have a conversation with you to make sure your question is completely answered. It's also great to add details to help your answerer get to know you, so they can give you a more personalized answer!
