live answering service
Windows Live QnA is a question and answer service, part of Microsoft's Windows Live range of services. It is somewhat similar to Google Answers, but closer in function to Yahoo! Answers. The service is currently in beta, and is available only to US residents for testing. Users can ask questions, tag them according to topic, and gain points and reputation for answering other users' questions.
The service is community based; questions are posed to the whole community, rather than just one researcher. At this point there are apparently no plans for any monetary compensation of any kind for answering questions; rather, like with Yahoo! Answers, the only rewards are having high point counts and good reputation.
It is likely that Windows Live QnA will eventually be integrated with Windows Live Search, but no time frame for release has been announced. Live Answering Service.
