[Web4lib] Amazon's "Askville" (question asking and answering)

[Karen Coyle]

Uh, is it just me or do the product recommendations along with the 
answers make this seem "shill-ish"? Personally, I rarely mention

all of the time.

It’s a fun place to meet others with similar interests to you and a place where you can share what you know.    You can learn something new everyday or help and meet others using your knowledge.  Askville even helps you learn by giving you cool tools to help you find information online while you are answering questions.  It’s all about sharing—what you know and what you want to know—so go ahead and meet someone new today and Askville!"
