I had a neighbor who was a psychic of some renown. As I heard it, she did a big consulting job, collected the check, and went to Europe on vacation.The check bounced.How come she didn’t expect that? 🙂

I gotta check this out, so it’s a variation of Quora/Twitter with a focus on personal paid for support and answers?The types of questions I need answers too are usually only found in obscure IRC channels with generous experts sharing their knowledge – after stackoverflow and Google fail to deliver. It’s common that I don’t know an expert in the particular arcane technical matter I’m researching a rapid resolution for.I’ve never been shy of asking, it’s hard wired into my boundless curiosity, but I’m open to the idea of paying for the right attention and knowledge at an essential moment. Discovering trusted/reliable sources is going to be critical to Voomly’s success.Didn’t Chris Dixon get wild about a free site like this a while back, formspring.me? Assume the paid service factor makes this an entirely different feel.

This post got me to sign up, but I don’t think the potential “bigness” really occurred to me until I did. It struck me that the signup process just assumes that everyone will be selling something. That felt odd for a second, then brilliant! I would guess that it’s intentional, but even if not, I think it makes everyone who registers stop for a second and consider what value they might have to offer someone else.There are certainly other ways to sell a subscription service, but this seems so simple that it almost feels stupid not to put a product out there. This is going to make a LOT of people jump into the game who would have never bothered to do so otherwise.

Kaggle? No idea. Kegels – when engaging mula banda (pelvic floor) during asanas (yoga postures), kegels is one of the muscle (groups?) that is referring to the vaginal muscles in women, and the muscles attached to the scrotum in men (?I don’t think I am describing that properly?); Apparently kegel muscle exercises are good to help with premature ejaculation – did a bit more research to understand it all better… I plan to talk about all of this when I start teaching yoga. 😛 Using words like vagina and scrotum in class gets everyone’s attention and sometimes some giggles. All fun!

Perhaps, but I don’t have bandwidth to think about doing that right now.

I tried the link twice. Error 404, Voomly not found. Since we do a lot of Alpha testing here, I’m mentioning this as helpful info, not criticism.
