My son invited me to check this place out in 2005 so I did. This is my only membership. I like it here a lot and have no interest in investigating any of the others! If it were not for my son I wouldn't be here because I had no interest in such sites before he suggested I check out AB! :)

I opened my accounts with social networking sites with great expectations.
But I found most of them catered to people with tastes totally different from me.
Compared to them I find the Answerbag and the comments threads here a lot more interesting and invigorating.
Wonder why this is not called a Social Networking Site!

They should think about a name change, or maybe description change. AB is much more than a Q&A site.

Suby the Coat Jun, 30 2009 at 07:01 PM

Thats right. The name could stay as it has had a lot of exposure. It is in the marketing of the site that they must look for differentiation.

To stay in touch with friends and family. Most of them live far away and I feel it brings us closer.
