FunAdvice is a social question and answer service where anyone 13 or older can sign up, ask questions post advice, share photos and make friends. Started in March, 2003, FunAdvice is run by a virtual team from Miami Florida with staff and volunteer “advisors” located the world over, from Canada to Australia.

The free service offers people the ability to ask questions on any topic with a few restrictions on commercial questions, harm, and or abuse per the terms of use on the site, categorized into twenty-five different categories. By entering interests, members can then see other people who are also interested in the same topics as well as view related photos, questions, status updates, videos and howtos. After free registration, members can get new answer notifications by email, or opt out if they wish.

FunAdvice points is a new feature of the site in 2010 that enables members to cash out 10 US cents per point earned on the site from other members “liking” their answers, writing howtos or adding tips. Tips are small, bite sized bits of knowledge that are sent via email to the opt in list of members, which is over 70,000 Monday through Friday.
