Week 8 No 19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

FIXYA

I chose to look at a site called Fixya which offers technical support for all things mechanical, electrical etc which includes household appliances, computer equipment, phones and even cars.

You can search for solutions to your problems and if you don't find one, post your query and see what help arrives (!!!). Someone had a problem with their fuel gauge behaving strangely, another had windscreen wipers that switched on and off at will, solutions were offered.

New Zealand Fisher and Paykel appliances are well represented on this site so it is not just useful for US brands.

It seems this is a useful site for librarians to know about as we don't have repair manuals for appliances and cars any longer. There are also spondosred links to Consumer and to repair companies (NZ).
