Social Q&A services are springing up everywhere because often search is too cumbersome or imprecise to answer our questions. This is especially true on mobile phones. A new iPhone app called Crowdbeacon attempts to answer your questions with a local twist. It is designed to answer questions about restaurants, shopping, services, and activities in your immediate vicinity. The answers come from other users, local experts, and business owners, as well as Foursquare tips and Yelp reviews. Crowdbeacon reminds me a little of Aardvark, the social Q&A service that was bought by Google. When you join Crowdbeacon, it asks you what categories you want to answer questions about and it routes those questions to you. But it's primary filter is your location. If you know a lot about antique shops, it will only send you questions about antique shops near where you live.
