I tried all these sites and found very useful for me because i love to solve problems. These are basically question and ans type sites where i can share and gain knowledge from quality guys.
Very nice information.

Blurtit.com offers a more comprehensive service than any of the sites you have mentioned. If you ask a question @blurtit it will search our q&a database and tweet back either the answer, or it will set up a new question at blurtit.com and will tweet back once your question has been answered. Give it a try, feedback most welcome! Presently we are answering a question every few minutes, which makes us one of the most prolific Q&A services on Twitter.

Or, you can set up your Yedda account with your Twitter details at http://yedda.com/settings/toolbox/twitter/ - once you do that, Yedda will tweet on your behalf (to your twitter stream) every question you ask and invite your followers to answer it.
You can also set it up to tweet about your answers etc if you want.
BTW, Mahalo Answers also has a Twitter integration worth mentioning.

check this guy out. http://twitter.com/hookk . Interesting concept. Documenting the launch and making of news site in real time. Pretty cool concept for a site.
Very timely piece - Oz media seems falling over itself with items on social media in past week. This collation of great sites is but the tip of the ice-berg when it comes to how Twitter is set to change how we work, communicate and do business..
I am surprised that Mahalo Answers doesn't get a mention in the post nor in the comments. You send your question to @answers and it gets posted to the site. You get a reply for each answer received. They even have a rewards scheme where you can offer a tip for the best answer.
I've tried throwing out some questions on twitter with a few answers in return. I feel sure there's more folks who would be willing to toss in their 2 cents - just need to figure out best way to reach them in the middle of all the noise. Thanks for sharing this. Will check them out.

Can we please stop acting like Google is deathly afraid of a website that still has problems staying up? Google Answers couldn't compete with Yahoo! Answers. I doubt Twitter even came into play when they made the decision to shut down the service.

Has somebody created a Twitter-type service that tracks the number of people that click on links posted in Tweets? My own experience is few people click on links in Tweets. Most Tweets have links. If no one is clicking on the links in Tweets, why post them?

I have found Mahalo Answers to be the most responsive. They are even going out and finding questions on Twitter and then putting up $1 "tips" to people who answer them.
I think that the absence of @answers on this list is unforgivable!

If you're interested in this space, you should check out Aardvark (http://vark.com), the startup I'm working on.
You send Aardvark any question via IM or Email, and Aardvark finds the right friend (or friend-of-friend) to answer, live. Aardvark uses advanced algorithms to figure out what each question is about, and route it to the best person to answer. It connects to Facebook and other social networks to figure out who you're connected to.
Great post. All new to me. Very nice and usefull services - Twitter rocks.

Technology is amazing: Twitter seems smaller, lighter, and simpler than preceding tech, but it's much more powerful. I really think the founders took a page from the book of Jacob Nielsen. And possibly made a deal with some type of Wizard. Just my take on it.
Thank you for a very useful summary. I've been wondering what api to use to take communication with my friends/followers to a higher level. Dagmar Trading results that make you say W.O.W. Follow me on http://twitter.com/tradingrichmom

Many of these sites are new to me. I love masable because it now only provides information you want to know. It provides information you didn't even know to ask but you got your answer anyway. It keeps me on the cutting edge.
I like twtpoll's monetization scheme - pay what you feel is appropriate - much like Radiohead's album launch a little while back.

This is a great highlight of the fact that Twitter (even with quite sophisticated apps) cannot fulfill it's real purposes yet. It might never be able to do so.
