Ask your celebrity question!

A British startup called Yoosk has created a platform for ordinary people to ask questions to public figures. Tim Hood, co-founder of the project, writes in a letter:

Yoosk users post their questions and then vote for the best ones, after which they are sorted by popularity. We select the most popular questions and send them to celebrities asking them to respond on behalf of the community. We write the received answers on the site in a similar format. That is, just as for questions, users will also be able to vote for answers depending on whether they consider the answer to be plausible or sincere.

So far, the site has replies from Tony Blair and Barack Obama, so Yoosk can be compared to Yandex shares - voprosy.yandex.ru and president.yandex.ru . However, the British startup is not limited to certain, political personalities, just so far it has happened.

Interestingly, how would a startup with such a model get accustomed if such a heresy like Medved slipped on the president’s questions?
