10 Q&A Websites to Answer Your Questions
9Web solutions do not die while the web moves from one trend to another, it changes to other forms based on the new trends technologies and characteristics. The Question and Answer sites are actually the heir of their predecessor, the forums. Old forums were a non-organized solution to get answers from other users on the web. The only problem was it was hard to find an answer to your questions and the answers were not well-organized and categorized.
Question and answer sites provide a new organized method to get answers for your questions based on the web 2.0 trends by giving you the chance to communicate with other members and get answers from other experts on the web. These sites are more related to the wiki trend where you can find answers to your questions from the content that other experts like yourself add. So, it is more clever and organized. Questions and answers websites allow you to visit the category that you would like to ask about and submit your question, the experts reply to your question and you can rate these replies to give points to the experts.
Some Q&A sites add extra services such as polls, discussion boards and friends sections where you can be introduced to friends and introduce yourself to experts on the site.

Answerbag
Answerbag includes other sections beside the question and answer section. You can answer polls and join debates.
I think http://www.quora.com and http://www.talentopoly.com should be added to your list.
nice though.
What about Quora?
Yahoo! Answers is quite fun, I learn a lot on AnswersDOTcom and I have heard good things about LinkedIn Answers as well as Answerbag. Some other popular ones are Stack Exchange and Quora, both I find to be very good.
I think you have done justice with this list. There are a few questions and answers websites that are omitted like askeet.com (2005)and Experts Exchange (1996). Though I personally use answers a lot more than any other.
Hi,
Very nice list about Q and A sites.
I personally use Yahoo and Answers.

likeplum.com is pretty good too for high quality answers since it’s a market-based system where you get to choose how much you pay for quality answers.
This list contains the topnotch web sites for questions and answers. They have developed in many years, but there are many other web sites that deserve to be there, I like ask.whatafy.com very much. It is easy to use and the page is really friendly. Has anyone used ask.whatafy?
thanx For This Beautiful List About Best Question And Answer Site , This List Is Very Helpfull to me .
It’s a very good list of Q&A websites out there. I recommend to add Answeree.com to the list. I am a member on Answeree. It’s a place to get precise and consize answers unlike some other popular q&a websites which is having a lot of sponsored contents without a correct answer.
