Defuddle Blog

After weeks of development and testing, we are pleased to announce the launch and immediate availability of the Defuddle Facebook application!

The new application, available at http://apps.facebook.com/defuddle, lets you answer and ask questions directly from Facebook. Using the same backend as Defuddle.com, the application integrates directly into your Facebook account, allowing you and your friends to ask and answer questions with the same ease of use and simplicity available from Defuddle.com.

Using the application is easy! Visit http://apps.facebook.com/defuddle, login to your Facebook account and you will be guided through all the steps needed to begin Defuddling right from Facebook.

Please do not hesitate to send your comments and thoughts our way!

We are proud to announce the release of the Defuddle widget on the Netvibes platform. This widget allows you to view the most recent questions and easily access Defuddle to answer them.

Netvibes widgets are compatible with all major platforms, including iGoogle, Windows, Yahoo! and Opera. You don’t have to be a user of Netvibes to access and download the widget for other platforms.

Go get it.

Defuddle likes questions. We like questions, too. Here’s our weekly roundup of some of the stuff that we thought was interesting, intelligent or just funny.

Feel free to comment with any of your favourite recent questions as well!

We’ve created a video to introduce Defuddle to the world. Check it out.

Every week, we will pick our top questions from the week and talk about them. To make things a little more interesting, we will also re-open these questions for another week and see how the results change!

So, without further ado, here are our top questions from the past week:

1. Martine - What was the best Harry Potter novel in the series? 
   It was only a matter of time until someone asked a Harry Potter question and I’m sure this one won’t be the last! 43% of people said that Order of the Phoenix was the most popular, with The Half-Blood Prince second and Prisoner of Azakaban in at third (tied with Any other book thats GOOD!”). A quick search of Amazon shows that Prisoner of Azakaban has an average rating of 5 stars, while Half-Blood and Phoenix each have 4.5 stars. So Defuddle users have slightly different preferences to Amazon users! Click on the question link above and answer again!
2. Oliver - Is a 3G iPhone worth the wait?
   60% of people agreed that a 3G iPhone was definately worth the wait, and I have to say that I agree with them. For those who care, a 3G is a next-generation mobile phone network that is running in most parts of the world now and is stedily over-taking the older, 2G network. “3″ in Australia gets its namesake from the technology. A 3G iPhone has been rumoured since it was announced, and would mean faster downloads and better call quality on the iPhone. It is widely expected to be announced in June, so keep your ears out for it! Every nerd in the world is going to rejoice when it comes. 

Defuddle now supports Twitter! You can link your Defuddle account to your Twitter account and ask questions by sending a direct message to Defuddle on Twitter. You get a Twitter message back (with the top answer) when your question is closed, too. Check out your account settings page for instructions.

What is Defuddle?

Defuddle is a place to answer questions. When faced with dilemmas we make it easy to make up your mind. Ask a question, provide your choices (you can let other people suggest other options if you like), and see what the world has to say. Don’t waste time - you can get an answer in as little as an hour (but if you’re not in a rush you can leave it much longer). We’ll send you an email with the best answer (and of course, detailed results are available too) so you can be on your merry way.
