So, you've got a hot date, and want the perfect place for that special dinner? Online review sites may be helpful, but they don't know your likes and dislikes very well. Wouldn't it be great if you could get tips from those who know you best -- your friends?
With Ask Friends, a great and simple orkut app, you can ask your pals for their opinions and recommendations. Now, you can ask those you trust most to give you their thoughts on just about anything, from how to pick a wine to where to shop for camping gear.
This is how Ask Friends works: Just ask a question, and it will be sent to your orkut friends (you can even choose to send the question to only certain friends on your list). You can make the question publicly available so that others can provide their input as well, and categorize your questions by topic.
When someone contributes an answer, you'll receive a notification. If you're not satisfied with the answers you get, you can reply to the thread and ask for more details.
Ask Friends also monitors your own performance when answering other people's questions -- it gives you a rating, and as you provide great information to others, you'll earn points toward achieving a higher-level rating as a trusted source.
Many of you already know and love this application. We think our existing users will enjoy some of the latest updates as well -- a new look, an easier navigation, updated notifications and invitations to friends.
So go ahead, be curious and ask away!
