Whose watching the Store at Ask Avvo? Nobody Home But Us Robots.
No. 1,617 I’m a big Avvo fan. They have a Q&A feature where people can ask questions to lawyers and get answers. I participate in it and answer lots of them. However, the intake, as far as I can discern, does not have a human moderator. A computer evaluates the question and assigns it to […]
