Google announced today about the launch of beta version of its Q&A service (used to be Google Answers, see my previous post Google says adieu to Google Answers from November last year). Today we are launching the beta version of “Questions and Answers”. The new Google service, where you can ask a difficult question on the topic interesting to you, get an answer from other users, and can earn points, responding to other people’s questions.
