Askablogr

Askablogr is an integrated blog question and answer (Q&A) service that:

• Makes it easy for blog readers to submit questions to their favorite bloggers, while protecting the privacy and attention of the blogger
• Makes it easy for bloggers to answer some questions and decline others (or permanently block certain questioners) without hurting anyone's feelings
• Automagically publishes these Q&A exchanges to the blogger's blog
• Creates a master index of all the participating bloggers, readers and Q&A sessions (with links back to the source blogs) to help readers find and participate in this new kind of blog conversation

How it works:

For Blog Readers

• Click on the "Ask a Question" button on any participating blog
• Type your question into the web form provided
• Click submit (registration is required for first-time users)

For Bloggers

• Reply to questions (or decline them, and even block individual questioners from asking more) using the web form provided
