- Yahoo Answers
- Yahoo Answers use a fan system where users can be fans of others. There is also a point system. You earn points by answering questions and spend points by asking questions. Points accumulated determine your user level.
- Answerbag
- Answerbag groups it’s questions according to the type and difficulty. They are also grouped as: expert, local, and shopping (well researched, local only, commerce related)
- Twitter
- Twitter is like a chat room – kinda. You can search through answers and post questions quickly. If a user adds a #hashtag to their post, that post gets a keyword which helps others find it. Twitter is useful because it’s real time, or can be. For serious tweeting use a program like tweetdeck, which allows you to automatically pull feeds for your keywords.
- Answers.com
- A combination of answer site and wiki.
- All Experts
- A clunkier interface, but still a good answer site grouped in categories.
- Google Answers
- Like many other answer sites, but the reward system is based on money. You bid a dollar amount and someone answers, then you pay them.
- Blurtit
- Allows anonymous posting, but otherwise like other answer sites.
- Aardvark
- Powerful network of IM clients. People opt in to answer questions and then your question is blasted to all of them.
- Pic Answers
- Allows you to post a picture then ask about the picture. Saves typing a huge, oddly worded description.
- Answerly
- Searches several of the answer sites at once… though a custom google search would probably work better.
- Google for a Forum
