Our Passion Q&A
Blurtit.com is a community where people from all around the world share their knowledge and answer each other’s questions.
Three years old in June 2009, Blurtit is Mindcom’s flagship website. Blurtit is experiencing rapidly increasing traffic through the organic growth of its question and answer database and membership. Moving forward we are focusing on providing a seamless and positive user experience, whilst building its knowledge database of answers for all to use in the future. This answer based content is different to the factual based “Wikipedia” style information and more a personal opinion on questions which may or may not have an exact answer.
Mission: To provide answers to peoples questions online
Vision: To create an endless database of answers, giving personal views on common questions that people need answers too. By letting people ask, answer and interact through websites we aim to create a master database of information. We believe 20 million questions answered would be a start on our vision.
