41We have now introduced the facility to ask and answer questions anonymously.
Of course, we have many knowledgeable users who want their contributions to be visible. However, if the question is of a sensitive nature, Blurters can now choose to post as 'Anonymous'.
Simply click the 'Options' link above the ask or answer box and you can choose to post anonymously. -
38We have been looking at ways to make Blurtit more useful. Part of this is to show people how helpful answers are. This should help readers and allow the answerer to see how appreciated their answer is.
This is a rating on this answer specifically, not on the Blurter overall. -
16We recently changed the rules about who is allowed to access profile pages on Blurtit. -
17This is an early notification to let all of our fellow Blurters know that there are going to be some exciting new changes made to Blurtit in the near future.
These include:
New Quality Guidelines
New Profile Pages
New Contributions Dashboard -
5We are now asking that our Blurters select 3 - 5 tags on each question they ask. This is because we want you to have your questions seen as clearly and by as much of the community as possible, in the hope that you will gain an answer quicker! -
8You may remember a couple of weeks ago we posted a blog, threatening to hurl ourselves out of a plane in order to raise a bit of money for our favorited charity, Kitale School Uganda (official website HERE). Well, we only went and did it didn't we?!

2On Sunday 18th September, we will be heading to our local Ellough Airfield (look it up on Google Maps) and hurling ourselves out of plane 2 miles high in the sky!
We will be attached to a qualified professional of course, but don't let that detract from the fact that we will be in free fall for 50 seconds doing speeds in excess of 150mph for the first mile of the dive, before we deploy the parachutes and glide the 7 minute journey back to terra firma.
Now, here's the serious part. We're doing this all for a good cause of course, and that good cause is Kitale School Uganda, a charity championed by us all here at Blurtit. READ MORE INSIDE... -
4Just a quick heads up to let you know that we shall be making a few changes to the Blurtit helpful system over the course of today (08/05/2011)...
-
3In May 2011, we had in the region of 2 million questions, but over the course of the next few months, we have merged, quality-controlled and retired some questions so that, as at July 2011, currently there are around 600,000 questions, but, we hope, questions worth reading.
-
2We like to think that your time on Blurtit is better spent looking at good quality content, rather than having to wade through a raft of random questions that aren't really relevant to what you're looking for.
