Google has called off its "Google Answers" service that allows people to submit questions over the Internet that researchers answer for a fee.
Google has reportedly called off its "Google Answers" service that allows people to submit questions over the Internet that researchers answer for a fee.
A Google blog said that Google is a company fueled by innovation, which means trying lots of new things all the time, and which sometimes also means reconsidering the goals of a product.
The company said it will stop accepting new questions from the coming week, while the answers to questions already posted will be accepted until the end of the year. In addition, the archive of questions and answers will also be maintained online for browsing.
Thank goodness this has happened. Now if the others would die too. "Answers" has got to be one of the worst ideas ever introduced to the web. Folks, good and correct answers come from study and thought, not some faceless internet page where some "know-it-all" gives you their opinion. Are these answerers qualified? I don't think so. Get off your butts and research things to find answers yourselves!
