I'm not going to lie, I was SO MUCH more excited about this product until I looked at the front page, and only 6 out of the 36 experts listed are women. That's 30 men and 6 women - a very small 16.6% versus 83.3%. Wow. I think this is a great product, but let's get some more diversity in here!

@chefkatelyn Thank you so much for the feedback Katelyn, I can let you know that we are always looking for women hero's to participate and answer questions on yes.no, I personally reached over a hundred influential women across the world and invited them to join yes.no - following up and inviting more :), It is also very important for us to have a more equal representation in our front page and in our network. If you know specific women hero's who would like to participate and you can make the intro, I would love to help them onboard on yes.no, reach me to jonathan@yes.no

Are you guys going to implement short URL/username system to make it more appealing for users?

@rui Thank you Rui for the awesome idea! If I understood you correctly, enabling users to change their @ tags like in Twitter for some more customization is definitely something we are thinking of and would love to implement. How do you see it in your vision?

@jodoron If I were to use Yes.no, I'd like to give other people the URL yes.no/rui And also, to have @rui inside of the platform. I think it's a very interesting concept, I might enjoy using the platform. Are you thinking of adding a "dismiss" button to the questions?

@rui It is a totally cool idea and I already opened it up for conversation with our R&D team, Thanks for the compliments, If you would like to delete a publisher / unpublished question you can easily do it, was that what you mean?

@jodoron Instead of clicking "..." and then "delete question", just one button to dismiss it. It's going to be helpful for the people with a lot of following.

Good work guys. looks impressive! Why do you think your approach is better than live Q&A?

@nird Thanks so much for the nice words :) Live Q&A sessions are, as implied by the name, only sessions. This means they are one-time events, and therefore most interested parties will likely not be able to participate. yes.no allows continuous interaction through the network, which itself takes some of the burden off the answerers, who are free to answer their audience’s questions as and when they want to.

@bysdan Thanks Dan for the feedback :), yes.no is a crowd interviewing platform. This means that we use the power of the crowd both to source the best quality content and to help us recruit the best quality users. Upvoting other good questions both creates a system of trending content, and helps us in our efforts to bring new and interesting people to the platform. We can create pages about your heroes where you can ask and upvote questions, and this is the vital ingredient for our campaign collateral! You may of course also find that there are many yes.no users who will interest you. We’re building a category tagging system that will enable easy discovery of relevant content and users.

Love this. How do you maintain a steady stream of "heros"?

@ebesser Hey Evan, thanks for the love and support :), As we are a startup in the begining of our way, we do a lot of manual work of inviting them over and corresponding with them. Most of the hero's we reach out to are positive and joining in very fast actually which is a good sign for us. In order to make it scalable of course, we encourage users to invite hero's by themselves and ask them questions, upvote them. We built tools to monitor highly upvoted questions - thus indicating us that a certain hero is more desirable by our community than others - and than we charge :) and bring him in. Things become more scalable like in every startup I think, once you get the initial traction to your community
