Over at Any Answers, you can put questions on just about anything finance related. It’s quite a good resource but I thought I could do a bit better. So here’s a link to Answers to Taxing Questions. The application – which is built using Ning – lets you ask and answer questions. I’ve created a bunch of categories – they’re pretty arbitrary but if you take a look then I think you’ll get the idea. Using categories allows me to organise questions into similar ‘types.’ And because you can assign tags, it makes those Q&As easily discoverable AND, if you use an RSS reader like FeedDemon or NetNewsWire, then you get automatic notification of changes. Or you will get updates when I implement the RSS component – another 5 minutes’ work I reckon.
If you want to play with it then sign up. It’s a dead simple process. The most important thing to note is that if you like it, then you can clone the application and then use it for your own purposes – for free. Oh yes – it took me about 5 minutes to build this application. How cool is that? How useful might that be for clients? think also about how you could keep them engaged. If you’re prepared to pay the cost of a lunch at MacDonalds per month, you can take the application private and have it pointed to from your own website. Not sure I see the point of that when sharing is so much more valuable.
Thanks to my friend David Tebbutt for alerting me to this. Have I mentioned this before but David and I have an upcoming venture which will complement this site
