PrismaStar Software has announced the launch of a Web 2.0 relationship advice community named YouMe.Us and is giving away free iPods through March 31st, 2007 to reward the most active beta users. The goal of the interactive site is to provide users with an easy way to give and receive relationship advice while significantly improving the online forum experience.
The Web 2.0 technology utilized by YouMe.Us allows visitors to quickly post relationship issues and receive relevant responses from other users. A wide range of dynamic features make the user experience simpler by minimizing the need to reload pages, allowing relevant content to be found quickly, and facilitating the quality rating and ranking of user generated content. RSS feeds, tagging, and social voting further enhance the user experience.
“Time Magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year issue really highlights the tremendous popularity and usefulness of Web 2.0 user-generated content - a global trend that we saw emerging several years ago,” said PrismaStar Software CEO, Joshua Tabin.
“In the case of YouMe.Us, Web 2.0 technologies help users more quickly and easily give and receive relationship advice that is meaningful to them. This is an exciting opportunity for users to help one another while benefiting from the latest in dynamic Web technology.” Tabin added.

Sounds as if they’re trying to compete with a site I like and belong to called Answerology http://www.answerology.com) — but Answerology lets you ask all sorts of questions, not just those about relationships (even though that appears to be one of the most popular topics)…

I still don’t get the “Web 2.0″ thing. The web is gradual evolution. To say Web 2.0 implies a sudden, cohesive change, which of course never happened. One of the primary strengths of the web is that it is responsive, evolving gradually to meet new needs and ideas and to take advantage of new technologies. To call it Web 2.0 likens it to to a Microsoft style “you’ll get the next version whenever we’re ready to give it to you” paradigm, which nobody wants.

I joined an online community called: Answerology.com, it is run by an author named: Matt Milner, and his company called Guy Critical, Inc., in New York city.
After joining I learned that others who had joined had actually had their personal information given out to stalkers, identity thieves, and bullies, and that at least two people, one in seattle, the other in New York city, had been seriously physically injured because of this.
After joining, I received anonymous threats against my life, but when I called the authorities, they told me to find out who actually made the threats in order to file a complaint! So I contacted Answerology.com and it turns out that they allow users to take turns as moderators or CS Reps - and that they have access to our personal info. Now I am getting threats on my cell phone, and Answerology.com refuses to help me.
What can I do?
This is quite frightening. It shocks me that this company, Guy Critical, Incorporated on Hudson Street in Manhattan would be able to get away with such dangerous activity.
As It Is, ANSWEROLOGY.COM Appears To Be A Haven For Stalkers, Criminals, Identity Thieves, And Abusers. I have been through hell and Answerology.com is protecting the offenders.
Please let me hear your advice. And thank you so very much

advice: NEVER EVER USE YOUR REAL NAME OR CONTACT INFORMATION ONLINE! for an email address, create a hotmail account and use it only for online fill in boxes. Need to use a fone number, buy a skype account and it doesn’ t matter who calls it, you don’t use it for anything else!
again, NEVER use your real identity online. i’ve been doing it this way since 1993, and have never had any problems.
