Back from the Brink - Google Answers Relaunched

Google Answers, Google's Q&A service, which was previously outshone by Yahoo Answers, has recently been relaunched in Russia. An article on Google’s Russian blog mentions that Russia is the first country to receive this new service, and there is still a possibility of launching an English version. Below is a rough translation:

Today we start testing the Beta version of Google Answers. Through this new service, you can post questions on topics that interest you, get answers from other users, and earn points by answering various questions... We are particularly pleased to note: Russia — the first country where we launch this service; it remains difficult for English-speaking users to access as of yet… By answering different questions, you gain points and gradually become an expert in one or more areas.

"By answering questions to earn points," we see that this new version is similar to Yahoo Answers. Wishing Google Answers good luck with its rebirth. Anyway, take a look!
