"The volume of sites and services on the Web doing their thing on the Q&amp;A circuit is quite extensive. There is Yahoo Answers of course. Yedda is another. TickerHound is one which is geared exclusively to financial queries. LinkedIn Answers is a quality forum, too. (Let's not forget Shouldi, either.) But say you want to simplify the whole question-answer process. You\u2019ve got a quick question, whose subject is perhaps best described as miscellaneous. And you ideally want answers delivered quick.\nEnter, Defuddle. A site started by Oliver Bolton and Edward Dowling of Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, it has been around for a few months now, and it\u2019s already showing to be a real treat to use - and aesthetically pleasing to boot.\n\nDefuddle works completely intuitively. After you\u2019ve registered an account, you have several options on tap. You can offer your wisdom to those in need. You can post your own questions for consideration by the crowd. You can browse the growing archive of data nuggets. Or you can refer to your account for your activity history at the \u201Cyour stuff\u201D section.\n\nIf you\u2019re starting out, your account\u2019s largely barren. So maybe you\u2019re curious about something to do with business, fashion, science, sport, travel, or topics to fit any of 8 other listed categories. Click \u2018ask something,\u2019 and you\u2019re given a window in which to write anything question that can be delivered in 200 characters or less. In addition to a chosen category, tags can be administered to your post-in-progress as well.\nNext, you\u2019re given the option to allow others free reign for answers they provide, or your can specify set options to be chosen by readers. To bring popular opinion to your comparison, for example. Then you\u2019re allowed to specify a time by which you wish to receive an answer. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, or 24 hours, or as much as 7 days. You decide.\nNew users will find there\u2019s nothing at all complex to Defuddle. It\u2019s meant to be easy, and relatively quick to satisfy. As the site copy explains, it is \u201Ca place to ask questions and make up your mind.\u201D It\u2019s very linear both function and presentation. And that, I think, is what really makes it an enjoyable service to use."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
