Neat!

Vark should only be used for good
vark:
You there? I have a question about *Music* that I think you might be able to answer.
(Type 'sure', 'pass', or 'busy'.)
me: sure
vark: (From Mathew J./M/NYC,NY -- sent via iPhone)
Does anybody know where tina turner lives?
(Type 'pass' to skip, or 'more' for extra options.)
me: pass
vark: OK. Type 'mute' to stop getting questions about *Music*.
Or 'tag' if that label isn't right.
(Type 'why', 'see', or 'more'.)
me: tag
vark: Type 'tag:' followed by any word or phrase to label this question.
(Tip: you can also use 'tag:' to add a city or neighborhood.)
me: tag stalking
vark: Thanks very much! That's helpful.
Feel free to ask a question of your own!
(Tip: try asking about *new music* to get some ideas from a friend...)
