> Here are some of the most commonly-asked questions about Learn2.com.
> If you have any more questions, feel free to contact us at

> =20
> What exactly is this?
> Learn2.com is "the ability utility." - a unique information site
> available free of charge to anyone with access to the World Wide Web.
> We provide step-by-step instructions--known as "2torials"--on a wide
> spectrum of skills, activities and tasks. We try to use friendly,
> acessible language and graphics, and our format is designed for
> everyday use by just about everyone.
> =20
> So it's an educational site?
> Not in the conventional sense. It's not geared at cramming facts into
> your head, but at giving you the information you need to do stuff.
> Learn2.com teaches everything from the essentials of everyday life
> (such as balancing your checkbook, or setting the clock on your VCR)
> to the esoteric (how to paint faux-marble finishes or wear a sarong).
> =20
> There are a zillion websites. What's so special about this one?
> There are two things that make this site especially noteworthy: It's
> actually useful. And it's easy to use.
> =20
> In a time when the vast majority of websites seem to be coasting on
> novelty value alone, Learn2.com intends to offer a substantial amount
> of content. Not just passive content, but solid information that
> produces tangible benefits for all who visit. Moreover, this
> information is provided quickly and efficiently, with no
> unnecessarily-ornate graphics or distracting techno-gimmicks.
> =20
> Who's the target audience?
> There is no single target audience, no prime demographic catered to
> solely for the sake of advertising revenue. Learn2.com is geared to
> everyone who needs to do something, and needs to learn how to do it as
> quickly and painlessly as possible. That means our audience includes:
> * A new uncle, babysitting for the first time, who realizes that he
> doesn't know how to change his nephew's diaper.
> * A home computer user, who needs to know how to connect the new
> hard disk he got as a birthday present.
> * A young couple throwing their first dinner party, who need to know
> how to set the table for a formal sit-down meal.
> * The sweetheart of a sports fanatic, who wants to learn how to
> follow a football game and join in the cheering.
> * The neighbor invited to join in on a weekly poker game--trouble
> is, he doesn't know a flush from a fold.
> =20
> Who's behind all this?
> Learn2.com is a production of Panmedia, a four-year-old multimedia
> studio based in Sausalito, California. We're best known for our
> corporate work (for clients such as Levi's, Oracle, Philips
> Electronics, Cartier and Addison-Wesley ), and for the instructional
> book/CD-ROM "Director Demystified" (Peachpit Press).
> =20
> How do you make money at this?
> We don't! Not just yet. We're currently developing sponsorship
> programs, but we have no plans to start charging for our service.
> =20
> Why don't you add links to other web pages?
> We'd like to take full advantage of the hyperlinked medium by placing
> links to everything relevant, and indeed early prototypes of Learn2
> did just that. But two issues quickly arose:
> =20
> 1.) How do you make sure all the links stay current? Other pages
> change over time, and it would take us a significant amount of time to
> audit and update them all. We felt our limited resources were better
> spent creating new 2torials.
> =20
> 2.) If you place one link, why not another? There's an implied
> endorsement that comes from suggesting another page as a continuation
> point, and we would need to carefully weigh the completeness and
> accuracy of that page before placing a link (you'd be surprised at how
> many people aren't aware when they've left one site and entered
> another). If one link is relevant, why not another one? We found that
> we were all-too-quickly becoming another Yahoo!--building lists of
> links on related topics--and we_definitely_ don't have the resources
> to do that.
> =20
> So we've decided to stay within our bounds, at least for the time
> being. If people want more information on a certain topic, we invite
> them to dip into their favorite search engine...which is how we would
> have found out about relevant pages in the first place.
