Someone launched ASK the world, a yahoo answers competitor. It has some nice features: no registration, and you can embed the site on your blog, letting people messaging without visiting asktheworld.org itself.... Nice idea i thing

Amazon has also just launched NowNow, an Askville for mobiles based on MTurk.

Google Answers just was not a great idea (pay for ask). NowNow and Askville have MTurk behind and LinkedIn have they social community... and the service is free!!

Unfortunately, it seems to be abused right now: "how do I get a job" or "looking for" phrased as questions in the Technology section.

Good idea! This is not a Yahoo Answers competitor but a crucial part of their services.

This feature makes sense. There are a lot of times I have some business or industry related question folks in my linkedin network could answer. This will also help get people to use LinkedIn more often than just for storing contacts.

With this feature, LinkedIn networks will come alive! They just need to be careful about the spam.
