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. Hello everybody.

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. -Animesh, MirrorZen Software Natali Says:

Yahoo's got a great model now that advertising is a good revenue driver- and I'm surprised Google didn't emulate it or retool instead of shutting down. I heard Baidu has a social search element integrated into their search engine that is just CRUSHING Google in search relevance in the difficult to search Chinese language web ecosystem. I wonder if they will relaunch using newly aquired tools from JotSpot (wikis) leveraging their Orkut and YouTube social sites? Hi
