This reminds me of the Berlin Jewish Museum's "Ask a Jew" project / exhibition (most, though not all, of the people who objected were not jewish).<p>It raised lots of complicated ethical issues that were hashed out in the press (and I could hear people talking about in cafés).<p>Here's an article about it in English: <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/ask-a-jewish-person" rel="nofollow">http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/ask-a-jewish-p...</a>
So - under "Recent Questions" - is there a way to view the anonymous responses to the anonymous questions? I have no questions to ask, but am interested in browsing the answers to existing questions.
I really hope that this will be collected in a data set that can be used for research. I think the analysis and observations will likely be eye-opening for many non-black people.
@waynesutton you've got a potential product. Many businesses don't know how to convert social media to sales. This however is simple<p>Repackage, repurpose your product for businesses.<p>Try testing small businesses e.g. Hotels, restaurants, schools to see if they'll pay to have customers chat, ask questions or make reservations over the internet.<p>However, you'd need a way to bring the cost of adding a new number down for scaling purposes. You could add a routing code to each SMS to transparently share one phone number amongst multiple businesses.<p>Hope you pivot instead of just shutting down
Why doesn't it have a web interface?<p>I wanted to ask who the best new Black Comedians are, but I can't because I don't have a US phone.
What could you possibly want to ask specifically of a black person? What difference does it make to what someone can tell you?<p>How about "ask a blonde person"?
