Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Google has a new "answer" service where they allow anyone to submit a question and have it answered by "paid researchers."

Its beta, but I think its a great concept, for Google (not really for those asking the questions.) The deal is that the question asker pays for the answers. When a question is submitted they asker puts a price on it. Registered "researchers" (anybody who signs up) answer the question an collect 75% of the price.

There are other services like this out there, but being Google and paying 75% this one will surely be the most significant and hopefully attract people really qualified to answer the questions.

Check it out via the link. Most of the questions a broad and frankly very dumb. Researchers could basically just USE Google and post answers to the askers. Oh well, still, betcha Google makes money on this.   https://answers.google.com/answers/main
