What is Askadelphia, you ask?

You may have seen a lot of references to Askadelphia on this site as of late, and you may be wondering what it is.

Simply enough, Askadelphia is a community forum for asking questions and getting answers. Questions can be about any topic, but tend to focus on things happening in and around Philadelphia.

That's it! Anyone can ask, anyone can answer.

We've received some feedback, so here are some replies to frequently asked questions:

Is it difficult to sign up?

Not at all; you can even use your Facebook account if you prefer.

Why do I have to log in to ask or answer questions?

So that the system can keep track of what you've done. Feel free to use an alias.

I'm on Twitter and can receive answers to my questions there. Why use Askadelphia?

Twitter is great for fast info, but tweets tend to fade into Internet history rather quickly. Askadelphia can serve as an archive for questions and answers. Plus, it can be seen by many more people than just those on Twitter.

What am I waiting for?

I don't know! Find out answers to your questions. Teach people what you know. Get on it!
