Ask Internets!

There will always be a time when you're not entirely sure what you're doing with a certain subject. But the days of weighing the pros and cons yourself are coming to an end. Whether it's a common quandary like "Where should we eat?", or a more specific question along the lines of "Should I buy this shirt or not?", you can now simply AskInternets.

As a burgeoning social networking service, AskInternets allows users of its free Android app to pose questions (paired with an image) to the public-at-large. Other users then vote with a simple "Yes" or "No". It's a simple, yet brilliant idea that can lead to a quick answer or a few good laughs.
