NEW ANSWERS SITE FROM WIKIPEDIA

Wikia answers the new answers portal from wikipedia was launched yesterday by the founder of wikipedia Jimmy Wales.So what's new and special here.The website is of opensource unlike other answer sites like yahoo answers,wikianswers,ibibo sawaal etc.which means that there will not be any ads or some promoting material on the site.This also means that the site is well utilised and protected from spamming.
The content is freely licensed under GFDL unlike other answers sites allowing it to be re-used and re-purposed by others for free
- Anyone can contribute (other answers sites require you to register)


"Wikianswers uses the unique characteristics of a wiki to form the very best answer to any question."
Jimmy Wales
founder of Wikipedia and Wikianswers 

Can it really gain some of the popularity of the already established websites? In December 2008 alone, Yahoo! Answers had 144.7 million visitors, and Wiki Answers had 26.7 million.
