Mobile search via Skype: hiogi launches the first community-based Q&A solution for Skype.

Individual answers can now be requested via Skype chat. The new solution runs on both, computers and mobile devices.

Berlin, 10th November 2008. Chat is the favorite way of communication for millions of teenagers and even smartphones support instant messaging today. “hiogi for Skype” is the world’s first question and answer service that enables users to ask for advice by simply typing a question into their Skype chat window. Each question receives an accurate answer from the online community. The accuracy is ensured by a 6-eye-principle.

How it works: Visit www.hiogi.com/skype and register for free. Add the Skype name on the site and approve hiogi to be added in your contact list. Afterwards any question can be send to hiogi directly on Skype by writing the keyword ASK in front of the question. The answer plus references or comments show up in the Skype chat window minutes later. A list of all functions can be requested by typing in the keyword HELP into the Skype chat window.

"hiogi for Skype mobile is the easiest way to receive quick answers while traveling", says Bjoern Behrendt, CEO of hiogi. "It’s like chatting with a good friend, who is always willing to help and who knows everything."
