AOL Rolls Out Social Recommendations Portal For Shoppers

According to a Tweet sent out by former Mahalo developer Chris Finke, AOL is rolling out the beta of a shopping advice portal. It appears that you can submit a question to a public forum, and then other participants can comment and add a recommendation.
AOL Shopping staffers also seem to be answering users questions, and generally linking to products on AOL shopping for more information. According to the AOL Shopping Beta site, users can interact with other shoppers, ask fellow shoppers questions about products and get advice on what to buy.
