This comes from a new website called Helium which is another Web2.0 kind of thing, people write giving advice on all sorts of issues. If it works it will be bought by Google.
I have a question though, how do you start a website like this?
I mean before users join and write things the website looks pretty empty and boring which will not entice other people to join. Do they pay people to write at the beginning? How did delicious look when it only had one link? Or myspace.com with only one profile?
It feels like the beginning of the universe, hard to imagine.
