HardwareiKnowlej.com - How To Make User-Generated Q&A (Questions and Answers) Better?
iKnowlej Corporation (www.iKnowlej.com) has announced that a user-generated Q&A service could perfectly fit into our goal for offering Personal Knowledge Management solutions for the individuals.
NORTH YORK, ON, CANADA, September 26, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Questions and Answers on the web has been always a very important form of contents. It has been always an important form of oriented conversations over the Forums or even in the Chat-rooms or elsewhere. There has been various efforts like Google Answers or Yahoo Answers or some niche targeted services such as LinkedIn Answers or many others out there. However, all of these services have missed some fundamental features which will be highlighted below.
iKnowlej user-generated Q&A service could perfectly fit into its goal for offering Knowledge Management solutions for the individuals as Questions are one of the most fundamental forms of knowledge gaining initiators to human beings that leads to small or big discoveries.
iKnowlej Q&A service will start as a Web 2.0 Model which is centric around the users" participations on doing everything (asking questions, voting each other questions, responding to the questions, voting the responses, & so forth). However, iKnowlej is trying to further focus on empowering the users & enriching the service by going beyond the so-called enabling features. iKnowlej believes that most of the times, questions are more important than answers (or at least as important). Providing a process for voting the questions by the users in order to express which questions matter to most of them is a one of the major differences of iKnowlej Q&A service with others. This way the more important questions get more attention and the users do not face cheap questions frequently. Below are iKnowlej"s other distinctions:
- In iKnowlej the questions are being classified through service standard networks and they will be only presented in those networks or in their parent networks. This approach will make the questions being seen or asked by the individuals who are subscribed in those networks making the questions completely relevant to them and the individuals will not get lost in the ocean of irrelevant questions. (This is probably the most important and differentiating factor of iKnowlej service)
- iKnowlej tries to add some visualizations to the questions and even answers by automatically adding related media to them. iKnowlej also owtries to emper the users to upload their questions in the media formats while trying to be conservative in this section. iKnowlej believes this approach could highly increase the richness of the service for the users.
- iKnowlej tries to cluster the related questions in each network to each other in order to further enrich each of the questions. The process of discovering the related questions will include various steps to make that the service is not attaching the cheap questions as the related ones.
- iKnowlej will try to offer some experimental models for automatically suggesting some responses for any given questions while expecting the users reactions to the suggestions which could train the algorithm used in the service for giving better responses.
- iKnowlej is trying to offer its Q&A service beside its comments on the news stories so the users could further discuss the news in a Q&A formats to discover all of the hidden aspects of the news stories better.
The service will be the base for offering a better search tool & also a base for getting better extraction of meaningful content for whatever queries our users submit us.
Certainly this is going to be a big feature for iKnowlej and iKnowlej will constantly work on this to further discover and address wide aspects of growth for the service.
