The concept should make more sense to people as a standalone site than as a sub-section on another site. (Easier to explain, easier to link to, etc) Should isn't very strong. I don't think the 15 seconds it takes to get used to an /r/IAMA thread is worth a whole new product. As a standalone site we can optimize the interface for this concept, which is really a very different idea than reddit.com That's true. Twitter integration is really helpful. Acts as both moderation and as a way for people to spread AnyAsq to their followers when they do an AMA or ask a question. Twitter has a text box where i can tweet anything i like. Your twitter integration makes it harder to sign up and adds almost no benefit. That's a negative, imho. We're a YC company which will hopefully help us get people like Harj (or pg? Don't do it quite yet though please) on there and maybe help with press. So is reddit, and reddit doesn't need any help with press, given it's 15 something million users. You're taking something that works and breaking it. |

I don't know what to think about this product, but I have to disagree with you on this point. It might take 15 seconds to explain Reddit AMAs to techies, but if the aim is to make AMAs more popular with non-techies, I can definitely see that there might be an advantage.
