		<description>Hello everybody. I would like to introduce you to a new concept. Beginning in January of 2007 AssistMeOnline.com will be the new site for questions and answers. Although the website has not technically been launched yet, it is currently viewable at http://www.AssistMeOnline.com It will actually be a re-launch since this website was originally launched in a Beta form in the spring and summer of 2005 with great success. This time it will be better than ever with new features that other companies with a similar service do not provide to its users. More is to come when the official announcement will be made and press releases will be issued. In the meantime all former Google Answers Researchers are invited to apply to become a Representative and join the AssistMeOnline.com network. If anyone has questions or suggestions you may contact us via our website. Comments are also welcome through this forum. Bienvenido AssistMeOnline.com and Sayonara to Google Answers.</description>

		<description>I have been using www.jyve.com which has all that bitwine has and more. This site has lots of member participation and eveyone is chat and skype enabled.
I have made money and spent money on this site and it works. Found it by accident, it seems that this is the team that developed the skype card, presence button, browser synch for Skype over the last few years.
LAst I heard they have close to 90,00 members.</description>

&quot;So far no word on how Yahoo Answers is doing in comparison but isn’t it possible that community asking services such as these will become extinct as people learn to better navigate the Web themselves?&quot;

There are a few startups trying to automate Question-Answering as is my startup. If Question-Answering has to become mainstream it has to be automated instead of relying on Humans to do it. The technology for Scalable Information Retrieval was always there but automated Question-Answering algorithms have a long way to go, and I think Google is doing something in this field. Either Acquisitions / development?

I have long believed that the primary factor deifferentiating Y/G is Yahoo leaning towards user-generated content and Google towards automated algorithms doing the same thing.

		<description>[...] Today must not be a very exciting day in the world of tech.&#160; About 8 blogs that I frequently read have posted about the Google blog post about Google Answers shutting down.&#160; Some of these include Tech Crunch, Paul Stamatiou&#8217;s Blog and Mashable.&#160; According to TailRank there are currently 30 blogs blogging about it.&#160; Make that 31 if I show up on there.&#160; I guess this is big news because it is Google.&#160; Personally I hadn&#8217;t really ever heard much about Google Answers and I don&#8217;t think this is going to hurt them as a company very much.&#160; So hopefully something more interesting happens tomorrow.

		<description>Yahoo! Answers may have more page views, and if that was Yahoo!&#039;s goal in creating it, they achieved it.   But it&#039;s useless for getting answers that are of any substance, or correct, or reliable.   It&#039;s full (I&#039;d guess 90% or more) of teenieboppers who want to rack up points with inane comments to unanswerable questions.

I only hope that Marcel is correct, as I think he is, that Google is working on something better.</description>
