I suspect, in the end, that this will fail but do give them credit for trying something different. I think this is a site/idea is search of a problem/market.

And, the centralized / decentralized trade-off is tough--while local communities are more personal, centralized ones benefit from scale. Perhaps they can have it both ways through their API.

I've been using it during the beta and I think it has a good success rate predicting the decisions I would have made anyway. The API is a really neat idea and may be their best contribution in the end. My only issue is that once again it is a national/global destination site and really not organized around the community of people whose opinions and ideas I'm most likely to want and trust. I'd prefer to go to a local site and ask questions in a less structured way and see what they have to say. For example http:questionland.thestranger.com is for people who read The Stranger in Seattle and Questionland should be available to all cities with alternative weeklies/sites after the upcoming AAN conference.
