Google answers is a great resource, but I know there are other sites
out there that have similar functionality-- post a question, people
try to answer it, and the poster evaluates the answers, which results
in either money or some other currency/points being given to the
writers of the best answers.  I'd like to find as many of these as
possible.  I know some of them are "vertical" or specific to certain
types of questions, like configuring PC's - these are of interest too,
I'm just looking for as many as I can find.
