I'm just not seeing this. Seems really close to Google Answers, which failed and was shut down.

I just don't think I see it working. I can see the novelty of providing community-generated answers for people but for actual research or reliable content, I cannot say I see the benefit of this. It may be fun and possibly amusing but without a professional, expert hand at work, like say a site like sweetsearch.com, I don't see it being very helpful.
