If a friend sent me so much spam over Aardvark. I will either block him or throw him out of my contact list. Instead of 1:1 communication on Aaardvark, a 1:n communication on Facebook makes more sense. I can ask a question on my FB profile and a knowledgeable friend will answer me without bugging everyone else. I am not really that impressed with Aardvark.

You can broadcast a question to all your followers on Twitter, which is fine. Aardvark contacts each one, in order of liklihood of being able to answer the question. Thus Twitter is esp good for things like 'anyone want to play basketball tonight'? Whereas Aardvark is better for something like 'Whats the best place to score tix to the Lakers tonight', where it targets someone who has Basketball and LA in their profile. Twitter is basically a 1 to many broadcast system (like email or IM are more 1 to 1 ) . Aardvark will probably use it as well in the future though, but it specifically wants to avoid spamming your friends constantly. As to the limitations of your friends knowledge. Well there is the Friend of Friends things - and on top of that we also include your networks that you belong to you. If you're friends (or fof) can't help you, well, at that point you either need to get one of them to learn or learn yourself. You'd be surprised how much even the 2nd degree friends get you in diversity. Difference between 100 and 10K people.

More so than a trusted friend? I am not entirely sure I see what Aardvark is offering that I can't get by posting a question through a tweet or status update (or both at the same time if you use Tweetdeck)? Why cart all my connections over to a new location to achieve what I can already? Or am I missing something? Facebook Connect is a neat way to painlessly grow their base however. They should really look at adding Twitter oAuth and OpenID too to bring in other connections.
