Some of the people who were researchers for the defunct Google Answers service have now banded together to offer the world UClue.
Like Google Answers, Uclue is a paid service - you pay an amount and you get the answer. Only folks who were researchers for Google Answers can be UClue researchers - which is quite unfortunate since that means they can’t use my services

Uclue was built with Askpert software, from W3matter.com. The software was originally part of the free Question & Answer service FunAdvice, but in August of 2006, we relaunched in Ruby on Rails (askpert / uclue is in PHP).
Imho, you can’t generate enough “buzz” by doing paid q&a alone, and you need more community features, social networking things, etc, to really drive traffic…which is why we added those to FunAdvice when it relaunched last year. Growth has been good, too, with more than a million pageviews over the past month.
Let me know if you get a chance to check it out.
Best,
Jeremy

What they should do is have a hot topics area where people can post news updates on all kinda topics like finance, homeschooling, celebrities, ect. That would really be cool. Sorta like a news wiki.
