Google Answers resurfaces - in Russia
Google Answers could be digging its way up out of the grave. Google shut down its Q&A service late last year, but has relaunched a new version in Russia.
Google Questions and Answers lets you ask a question and receive answers from other users. Users earn points for giving good answers. It's not entirely clear if the points are worth money, or just a sense of satisfaction.
A Google translation of the product announcement indicates reads "We are particularly pleased to announce that Russia -- the world's first country where we are launching this service," which could indicate that Google will roll the service out to other countries in the future. And while we're using Google to translate the site, there's something charming about reading that people are asking questions like "where to buy wall clock with the cuckoos."
