Your hiogi team

Dear hiogis from the US, UK or any other country around the world,

we received a few questions about our monthly prices and why they are mainly gift certificates for German stores or hotels… First reason: hiogi is a small start-up from Berlin, Germany and one of our investors over here was so kind to sponsor some prices, which we could not reject of course. Also, most of the hiogis so far came from Germany, but this will hopefully soon change…

So here is our promise: We will start looking for better monthly prices that are also useful for you guys across the atlantik or in Asia e.g.. Of course we will send you your prices anywhere you live!

But of course hiogi is not only about prices! Mainly it should be fun, entertaining and everybody should learn something. hiogis help each other and that makes this community so special.

Best regards

Your hiogi team

If you want to follow all the international questions that are being ask to the hiogi community, please follow the ticker here: http://twitter.com/hiogi_ticker

Two German bloggers tested hiogi in comparison with two other German directory services that offer sms answers (11880 by Telegate and SMS-Guru). The hiogi community gave the better answers and showed good response times. Read more in this German blog.

Two hiogi mobile applications participated in the Netbiscuits Mobile Web Developer Contest and won a price in Boston today. hiogi’s “ask-a-question-solution” (http://ask.hiogi.com) enables anybody to ask free questions from the mobile phone while traveling and the hiogi ticker (http://ticker.hiogi.com) keeps people informed about real-time questions. Possibly they will soon be realized as biscuits who are availbe for other mobile sites.

Millions of Americans already use text for answer services and now hiogi enters the market with a free and open community that answers any mobile question. hiogi is a technology leader in mobile Q&A solutions and offers various free channels to post a question or to interact with the community. Besides text messaging the hiogis can use an iPhone application, various mobile portals, twitter, email from PDAs. Answers are being individually researched by the web 2.0 community in exiting answer battles. Each question is being ranked with 2 to 5 ogi-coins depending on the difficulty and each coin resembles a chance for the hiogi who provided the best answer to win various prices by the end of each month.

This is how it works: Simply register for free on the website www.hiogi.com or on the mobile portal http://m.hiogi.com and start asking questions about sport scores, traffic updates, hotel addresses, weather forecasts or simply ask for a local tip, a good advice or a recipe.

hiogi decided to start building further mobile portals and applications based on netbiscuits in order to deliver our content in an optimized way to thousands of different mobile devices. We also entered the netbiscuit developer competition with a question widget (http://ask.hiogi.com) that other developers will hopefully soon be able to integrate into their websites as an entry point to the hiogi mobile portal. Also, our mobile ticker (http://ticker.hiogi.com) shows the latest five hiogi questions. The ticker informs you about what others want to know and what`s going on in the community.

It is really easy! Simply enter m.hiogi.com or ask.hiogi.com into your mobile browser, enter a question and register for free. Or you can use text messages via Twitter to ask a question:

In case you are a blackberry or PDA user, you can email questions to the community by sending your mobile phone number and question in the subject line to ask@hiogi.com like this: 001123456789 What is the weather forecast for NY tomorrow?
