Well I just got invited by techstartups to Amazons Askville Beta to see the comparison of it between Windows Live QnA, Yahoo Answers and other Question and Answers sites and well I’m quite disappointed to see that in order to try out the service I need to enter my Mobile Phone number to receive a text with a conformation code!

Ok I thought I’ll do that even though I would rather have an email sent to me which is more convenient for, and after all not everybody has mobile phones even in today’s technology world, though I do so I was ok with it in a way!

But then I was yet again disappointed when I noticed that it’s only available to the US and Canada, damn how annoying is that, at least with the Windows Live Betas I could set my profile to US and test them out, here I can’t even do that!

I’ve sent Amazons Askville Team feedback on this so hopefuly they will listen, if not well all I can say is that I tried my best!
