Plinky, an eclectic Q&A service launches
Plinky, a new questions and answers services meets social network is opening up to everyone on Thursday. It offers up daily assignments called "prompts" for users to fill out, then share with others, be it on Plinky or on their existing social networks and blogs. Plinky isn't limiting the media type or format for responses though, so users can submit photos, videos, and written responses--which all goes into one big feed.
Some examples of the questions that have already been posed to users include "name three songs you'd put on a road trip mix tape", "defend your vice", and "what's your favorite live music venue?" The three songs one in particular is kind of neat, since you can look-up the track and link it up to Amazon.com where other people can preview and purchase it.
After answering any prompt you have the option to export your creation elsewhere. Right now the tool works with most major blogging platforms including WordPress (.com and hosted blogs), Google's Blogger, Tumblr, LiveJournal, TypePad and Xanga. There's also a quick post option to both Facebook and Twitter after submitting your answer.
