AOL Answers Sees The Light Of Day, 3 Years After AOL’s Acquisition Of Yedda

Next November, it will be three years since AOL acquired Israeli startup Yedda in an effort to foray into the online Q&A service business. Today, Yedda is finally graduating to a full-fledged AOL property with the ‘launch’ of AOL Answers (or Aol Answers, still not sure about that). Since nothing else changes apart from the name – Yedda users still have access to their accounts and their bookmarks are still available – there’s not much to add at this point. AOL Answers is a straight-forward Q&A site similar to the plethora of other services out there, including Yahoo Answers , Answers.com and Ask Answers . As such, it’s not to be compared to ‘next-generation’ Q&A services that tap your social graph rather than the entire Web community as a whole, such as Quora , Aardvark and the recently launched Facebook Questions . Featured questions on the site range from ‘Is there an age limit on blogging?’ to ‘How to thicken oil based paint’ and ‘Have you seen the movie Casablanca?’ .
