FACEBOOK "Questions"


Over 15 years ago, a user provided Q&A service called "Knowledge-In" has made Naver.com, South Korea's #1 search engine, what it is today. Then a few years ago, Yahoo started a similar service called "answers" creating another major stream of users leading to Yahoo.
And now, Facebook, which really doesn't need an explanation of its reputation, has started another very similar service called "Questions".

Its purpose is simple: to provide answers to any kind of questions that one might have. Just like Korea's now well-established "knowledge-in" service that provides answers to basically anything and everything from health issues to sports facts, Facebook's Questions will be the next place to quickly find answers to questions you have.

With such a massive user-base that Facebook already has, and the fact that people who answer questions are not anonymous on Facebook, I believe it's only a matter of time for this new service to become another main reason for users to visit Facebook.
