The site gives members the chance to earn points as a way to encourage participation. Yahoo!

3. Wiki Answers

WikiAnswers is an ad-supported wiki-based website where users can submit and answer questions. This site allows users to post and edit questions and answers. WikiAnswers.com uses wiki technology and allowing editing of content. All the questions that have an answer can be edited and improved over time. WikiAnswers.com uses an Alternates System – where every answer can have dozens of different questions that "trigger" it. When a question is similar to an existing one, they are joined as alternatives. This helps prevent duplicate entries in an effort to promote more cohesive answers.

4. Askville by Amazon

Askville is designed to run much like a computer game. Users gain or lose "experience points" in particular topics as they answer questions in those topics, depending on how good their answer is. Users also receive "quest gold" by asking and answering questions, and by voting on the worth of other people's answers. In the past, these coins could be redeemed for items in an Askville store. There are a variety of topics for questions, many user created. Besides answering factual and opinion questions, members can help others identify a book remembered from childhood or find a special recipe.

AOL Answers is a proactive social search service which groups questions and answers to any topic and allows users to cooperate on them. Any question is allowed on AOL Answers, except ones that violate the AOL Answers terms of use.

6. Answerbag

Answerbag is a collaborative online database of frequently asked questions, where questions are asked and answered by users. Multiple answers to a given question are presented in descending order of user ratings. In a comparison with Yahoo! Answers and MSN Live Q&A, Cnet declared that Answerbag was neck and neck with Yahoo! Answers.

It is intended to be a resource for those looking to either solve a problem or generate a discussion. Once submitted, questions are routed toward users that may be able to answer them. In turn, users are encouraged to answer questions relevant to their own fields of expertise.

  

8. Stack Overflow

It features questions and answers on a wide range of topics in computer programming. The website serves as a platform for users to ask and answer questions, and, through membership and active participation, to vote questions and answers up or down and edit questions and answers in a fashion similar to a wiki. Users of Stack Overflow can earn reputation points, badges and can receive badges for their valued contributions, which represents a kind of gamification of the traditional Q&A site or forum.
