Let’s face it, life is full of questions. From bizarre to benign, mundane to magnificent, we’ve all had a question go unanswered at least once in our lives. What if there were a way to obtain the answers we seek by relying on the knowledge of others? Better yet, what if the answers were only a point and click away?
The basic premise behind Problima is that anyone, anywhere can ask a question and obtain access to an individual answer for one dollar. While not all answers may be worth their salt, the hope is that by obtaining multiple answers, those asking the questions will find what they are looking for through the commonality of several responses. For those on the other end of the equation, Problima pays one dollar for every answer that is accessed by the asker. If, like me, you’re wondering what would keep those with absolutely no knowledge from getting your hard earned buck, the answer to that lies in a ratings system developed to separate the chafe from the wheat. After an answer is accessed, those who purchased it are encouraged to rate the answer, thereby providing a virtual endorsement to the person or persons who provide the most comprehensive answers. Of course, once an expert’s stock goes up via the ratings system, the likelihood that their answers will be more often sought out (and consequently that their time spent answering will be more lucrative) increases.
So, the next time you have a question that needs to be answered, try your luck at Problima. You may never find out what the meaning of life is, but if you come close for a buck, that’s not too bad at all.
An Answer for Every Question
Having trouble obtaining the hard to find answers to important questions? You’re not alone. Many people don’t know where to go for information, especially information that may not be easily found. “Who won the war of 1812” is a question that requires no more research skills than “who shot J.R.”, and for queries such as these, there are many avenues for finding the answer both online and at your local library.
Screen Actors Guild Awards a Good Predictor of Academy Award Winners
If the past Screen Actors Guild award ceremonies have taught us anything, it’s that influence can never be underestimated. Take last years Academy Award winners, for instance. In 2006, the Screen Actor’s Guild appointed the film Crash (starring Matt Dillon and Sandra Bullock) as the best outstanding performance by an ensemble cast in a motion picture.
Award Shows More Competitive Than They Appear
We’ve all seen it countless times, whether while watching the Grammy’s, Oscar’s, Country Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards or Golden Globes. The presenters name the nominees and their faces are shown as the audience applauses. The envelope is opened, the winner announced, and then the real fun begins. Of course, a minute is spent focused on the winner, but after the hugs from nearby friends and associates and while they are making their way to the podium, we also get to see those who didn’t win, or more appropriately, their reactions.
