Mahalo adds Twitter support to Answers service

Jason Calacanis’ Mahalo has added Twitter support to its question and answer service Mahalo Answers.

The new feature allows anyone to ask a question of the service by sending the question to @answers on Twitter. Submitted questions are automatically posted to Mahalo Answers, and users are given a direct URL link for the page the question resides on.

The service of course is only as good as the replies the questions receive, and at least so far I couldn’t find any answers to questions that had been submitted via Twitter. Mahalo Answers also works on a payment system; you can ask a free question, but monetized questions get priority, and obviously the Twitter submitted ones don’t have that advantage.
