Nice analysis on why Google Answers Failed where Another Succeeded
(1/1)
mouser:
Summary: In 2002, Google launched one of their few pay services, Google Answers. The service attracted only 800 responders in the past 4 years, and was shut down a few weeks ago. Three years ago, Matt Haughey created Ask MetaFilter, pays no money to those who answer questions, and has turned the site into a successful part of his business using, in part, Google AdSense to support the site.
Why was Matt successful where Google was not? Let's take a look.
