Facebook's New Questions Feature Rough Around the Edges

Questions_problem

Facebook has recently launched a new feature called "Questions" in which you can ask and answer questions of others in the vast community who are willing to take part in discussions. I answered a couple of questions there today to get a flavor for the place. It's obviously brand-new. As you can see by this image, it appears they are faking the numbers of questions in some topic areas to get people to click on them, which is a dubious practice at best. It's one thing to seed the questions (which I suspect they've done in some places) but quite another to say there are 23 questions in an area that's vacant.
