Fluff indeed.
Another startup with an idea where there's already established players - like MetaFilter (!), Yahoo Answers. What a waste - heck, if you had a really specialized problem or fetish, there's probably a message board and online community for that too, instead of having to come to this site. Geez, if Google Answers died you'd think it would be a sign that unless you're bringing something new to the table you should probably not bother with the idea.
I think the "look how pretty we are" thing just set me off. Also the weird name. Also the UI - which is lovely to look at, but at a certain point there's got to be more than just a pretty UI to build a site.
