			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/01/funadvice_logo.png" title="FunAdvice Logo" alt="FunAdvice Logo" align="left" />I just got a ping from Jeremy Goodrich about his website, <a href="http://www.funadvice.com"><strong>FunAdvice.com</strong></a>.  Although the website has been around since March 2003, we haven&#8217;t covered it before.Â  The website is a good time-pass as it contains all types of questions ranging from Travel, Shopping, Real Estate, Pets, Music, Food &amp; Dining, Education, Tech, etc.</p>
<p>If I had a Xanga, I&#8217;d give FunAdvice.com 50 eProps for the mere fact that this website has been around even before Yahoo! Answers or any other Q&amp;A websites that I know of.  The homepage UI looks like this:<br />
<img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/01/funadvice_ss1.png" alt="FunAdvice Screen Shot" /><br />
Notice that Funny Question post under <span style="font-style: italic">Answer a Question</span>?  It actually is kind of funny:<br />
&#8220;If people can put up nude statues everywhere, then why can&#8217;t we run around naked?&#8221;</p>
<p>FunAdvice has so many random questions and answers which actually makes the site make you want to keep on reading more.  The website contains over 26,000 questions according to <a href="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9671039-2.html"><span style="font-weight: bold">CNET&#8217;s WebWare.com</span></a> and based on my reading it appears that the site has tapped a vast demographic of users from high schoolers to people in their 50s and 60s.</p>
<p>When I clicked on the Health question, one question that stood out to me was &#8220;Iâ€™ve been wanting to try Ecstasy for a long time now. Im not really scared but im juss scared what I might do while im on it. What should I Expect when Iâ€™m on it??? Is there anyway I could be a little safer while Iâ€™m on it. Is there anything I should do before I try it???&#8221; by <a href="http://www.funadvice.com/my/ricka13"><span style="font-weight: bold">ricka13</span></a>.</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn&#8217;t use a website like this to ask people questions about taking illegal drugs.   Why?  Check out this article on <strong><a href="http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2006/04/18/News/Is.This.How.You.Want.Your.Employer.To.See.You.For.The.First.Time-1859211.shtml?sourcedomain=www.michigandaily.com&amp;MIIHost=media.collegepublisher.com">The Michigan Daily</a></strong>, &#8220;Is this how you want your employer to see you for the first time?&#8221;  The article is about how the U of M Career Center urges students to avoid putting up incriminating pictures or joining Facebook groups that associate you with participating in illegal activities.  University of Michigan &#8220;School of Music senior Charlie Klecha said he is not worried about potential employers being turned off by his membership in &#8216;I smoke entirely too much reefer.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Some more facts about FunAdvice: There are professional advisors that can handle questions in a serious manner and there are widgets that you can place on your personal websites.  A sample widget is on <a href="http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9671039-2.html"><span style="font-weight: bold">WebWare.com</span></a>.  Goodrich is a former employee of Yahoo! and had even consulted with Yahoo! about Yahoo! Answers.</p>
