No matter how smart you may think you are, there are going to be times when you need help figuring something out that relates to technology. You can’t ever be too good to take advice from others - that’s just ridiculous. In a time of need, a reasonable person will admit that their knowledge is lax, and will seek out help from various sources. If your connections aren’t the best, then finding the right people/person to talk to could be a problem. The issue isn’t only finding someone that can help, but finding someone that can help as soon as possible. Qunu will help you out with that.

You’re probably already familiar with help forums and other things of that nature, but Qunu takes things up a notch by allowing instantaneous feedback through an IM interface. Search for the topic that you need help with, and you’ll hopefully find a number of available experts on the topic. These experts are able to provide help through their Jabber-compatible IM client, and you’ll quickly be starting a helpful discussion in a seamless fashion. This service and the knowledge of the participants is free, so that’s definitely something to be appreciative of. If you feel like you qualify to be an expert on any topic(s), then adding yourself to the database of handy helpers is easy enough, and you can begin to say things like, “Come to me with your questions, young grasshopper.”
