Askalo (styled askalo) is a social networking and user-generated local question-and-answer (Q&A) site. Askalo users can ask questions about any local topic and share answers tailored to their individual needs.

History

Askalo was one of three local web applications, including Locanto and Yalwa, created by the German start-up company, Yalwa.

Site Operation

Location-based Q&A

Askalo questions and answers are focused on cities and local communities. The askalo communities are user-based. Users can post questions about geographic locations and receive responses from other users with local knowledge about these locations.[2]

Global community

The Askalo Q&A sites are available in the following countries:

Argentina - Australia - Austria - Belgium - Bolivia - Canada - Chile - China - Colombia - Dominican Republic - Ecuador - El Salvador - France - Germany - Hong Kong - India - Ireland - Jamaica - Japan - Luxembourg - Malaysia - Mexico - Morocco - Netherlands - New Zealand - Pakistan - Panama - Paraguay - Peru - Philippines - Puerto Rico - Singapore - South Africa - Spain - Switzerland - United Arab Emirates - United Kingdom - United States - Uruguay - Venezuela

Languages that are currently covered: Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish

Criticism

On September 30, 2010, the Internet tools and apps reviewer Usefultools.com stated, "The main problem with Askalo is simply that it doesn’t yet have enough users. Most of the cities on the site have questions, but no answers."[3]

On December 9, 2010, commenting on the potential of Askalo, Social Media news website SocialMediaInfluence.com stated, "Askalo...[has]...not quite enough mass yet to get the response rate up."[4]

Askalo traffic rank is lower than 320,000[5] and is actually trending down.
