Google Answers is Dead! Long Live Google Answers!
Jinfo Article
1st January 2007
Abstract
For those unfamiliar with Google Answers, it is (was!) a human-powered, question-and-answer service begun in 2002 as the brainchild of Google co-founder Larry Page. Unlike most search-engine tools, Google Answers (gasp!) charged a fee: anywhere from $2 to $200. Not everyone is convinced that a fee-based Q&A service is workable, but in the course of its brief history, several hundred thousand people were willing to pay to have their questions answered at GA.
