What will be the next best site to replace g00gle answers?

Yahho Answers. It has to be. It is GA's main competitor and even I
have to admit that although I joined GA as a commenatator almost 2
years ago, in 2 months I have had far more fun with Yahoo Answers.

I personally hope someone will take the mantle and start a similar
service, however the landscape is littered with failed attempts at a
similar service.  I have visited Yahoo! Answers, and IMHO, it is
nowhere near what GA provided.  With questions such as "Who would win
a fight between Superman and Zorro?" and "How can I get my boyfriend
to stop sleeping with my best friend?" provide entertainment, yes, but
not the service that the Researchers provided here.  Combine that with
the spam questions and non-answer answers, YA will never achieve the
level that GA did and could have had Google not abandoned the service.

While my activity as a Researcher dwindled dramatically over the last
couple of years, I thoroughly enjoyed "meeting" and interacting with
fellow Researchers and customers, I feel like I made a difference in
people's lives with certain answers (for example,
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=424926), learned about
subjects, via research, that I had little or no knowledge about and,
overall, helped people.

If I had the means, I would start a service like GA, hiring the same
Researchers to start.  Any VC people out there interested?  :)

We are a group of very dedicated professionals who pride ourselves on
performing outstanding research. As such, I believe many of our
customers come to GA because they require complex research that
involves far more than a quick search by anyone and everyone who wants
to post a quick answer or opinion!

a group, might be going next, come visit us at http://web-owls.com/

I looked at Yahoo! Answers once or twice. I was horrified. Like Queen
Victoria, "we are not amused" by complete inanity and ignorance.

With a couple of exceptions (who shall remain nameless) out of the
infamous 500, I've watched GARs give excellent, complete, thorough,
well-reasoned, well-written and, yes, entertaining answers to hundreds
of questions. That's no small feat, especially when the prices are
low.

I've also enjoyed many of the regular commenters. I'd name them (as I
would my favourite researchers) but I'm sure I'd forget some and cause
offence. And some other customers/commenters have been extremely high
in entertainment value also, albeit not intentionally. I'm sure you
know who I mean.

Such a service would have to originate in a place like India.  There's
just no way for a U.S. based service to operate profitably.
