Balloonduck is the world's Q&A storyboard.

Everything starts with a question--conversations, ideas, and revolutions. Here at Balloonduck, we think it's important for every person to have a place to express themselves with a question mark.


Balloonduck allows you to speak to a large audience through requests. Requests are more than just raw questions; they're questions that are preened and packaged--loaded with beautiful images, thoughtful content, and a return address. Balloonduck sends each request on a fast and epic journey, putting it before the eyes of real people. This process of endless discovery ensures that each member of the Balloonduck community can continuously acquire newfound knowledge, and friendships.


Best of all, Balloonduck's aggregation of requests creates a natural global storyboard--an interactive visual exploration of human curiosity that can be perused and enjoyed by many.

A new world of Q&A


We think it's incredibly valuable to be able to learn from a network of people outside your own. Balloonduck strives to create an environment that transcends the boundaries of a traditional social network. We hope to create a virtual world where it's about what you know, and not always about who you know.


Balloonduck's content is user-curated. While we ensure that all requests get valuable view time, users have the ability to upvote the outstanding--thus ensuring that the best content reaches the most people. Users also have the ability to send direct requests to specific users using the @mentions feature.
