Like those sites, startups.com encourages entrepreneurs to ask questions about anything related to starting, running, operating and marketing a startup. The home page:
Startups.com is a new service by Startups.com Network, Inc, the company behind KillerStartups.com, a site that reviews startups.
Some people are criticizing Startups.com for using the same software/approach as Answers.OnStartups.com, but I think they’re missing the real benefit here. Having a resource for entrepreneurs to discuss issues, share tips, and generally help each other is really a great thing, and I think there’s room for more than one site.
As someone working at a startup in marketing, I’m really enjoying the quality of the questions and discussions in the marketing category, and I’ve already started adding my 2 cents in discussions.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur I’d suggest adding startups.com to your list of resources.

I understand that the site needs to have content in order to attract more users but the fact that most questions and answers are from the same few users is a massive turnoff. It’s like jumping into a full counterstrike server and finding out that all of the other players are bots running to bring in other players. Anyway, I understand why they need to do it, but it makes the community seem small. I’m not sure what the answer is.
