- TxPalmer, on 09/28/2008, -6/+56I think when they translated the bible from hebrew to english they mistakenly put God instead of Google
- konataXchan, on 09/28/2008, -11/+52The idea kind of sounds like Yahoo Answers except being made by Google it's already 10X better.
- inactive, on 09/28/2008, -3/+25Will it help me find out where to seek refuge from the Russians? I heard they're in Atlanta.
- apophenic, on 09/28/2008, -0/+18Google had a Yahoo Answers type thing already (called Google Answers), except you paid to get your questions answered. It was basically the same level of quality, except a little bit more bizarre because people asking questions were more earnest, since they were parting with cash.
Here's a Weekend Web about it!

http://moderator.appspot.com/ - inactive, on 09/28/2008, -0/+8oh, and it failed.
- esengulov, on 09/28/2008, -1/+8@takamichinaku
So? What's wrong with it? - uskomaton, on 09/28/2008, -0/+7How long will it be in beta?
- maloventevil, on 09/28/2008, -0/+6you already know the answer to this... same as most google products: FOREVER.

Whoa! - Loyaleagle, on 09/28/2008, -0/+5FYI...that's a standard practice for most freelance or salaried blog jobs...
http://masontechbeat.blogspot.com - JimmyTheKid, on 09/28/2008, -0/+5Well that server lasted a long time...
- xedd, on 09/28/2008, -0/+5Necessary? Is it necessary to have fifteen different brands of toothpaste to choose from? Necessity isn't the best question to ask.
They are getting into all sorts of businesses because there are plenty of business opportunities when people trust you.
Heck, I'm waiting to see the announcement for the Google International Savings and Loan Bank (with Free Online Checking).
This country needs some alternative to the con-artist ***** on Wall Street to do its banking with. - asssa3000, on 09/28/2008, -1/+5No way, Russians will find and nuke you even you are hiding in Hell.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+3It's funny you say that because the above mentioned Google Answers closed down as it couldn't compete with free and open questions and answers that Yahoo answers provided. I know we have the instinct to assume Google > Yahoo, but Yahoo Answers is an impressive product, as are many of their other web services like their latest webmail interface.
- haydesigner, on 09/28/2008, -2/+5Buried for being afraid of "FAGS".
- Jordan117, on 09/28/2008, -2/+4Federation of Astronomical & Geophysical Services = FAGS
- inactive, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2ZOMG VIRSUSES
- jaredseth, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2Until one of these sites is as well run as Ask Metafilter, I'll pass. I'd guess that, just like Yahoo! Answers, this will rapidly fill up with kids seeking homework help, ridiculous metaphysical questions and painfully immature relationship questions.
- theOster, on 09/28/2008, -1/+3they *used* to be in Atlanta...now they're in Alaska...
- tw3nz0r, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2So this is the 23rd google beta?

- cbeach, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2To article author: If you don't want us to see your email address (not that we care either way), just leave the field blank. It might be trendy and hip to blur your personal details in the screenshot but really, save yourself the bother next time.
- grbradsk, on 09/28/2008, -6/+7Google is already God -- seek, and yea shall find ... something anyhow. Ask and it will be given (as collaboratively filtered by ad-sense). It is all knowing, as long as it is digital and even if half of it is wrong and, like the God V1.0, it seeks to do no evil.
- avitorio, on 09/29/2008, -0/+1You really went too far with that one...
- wellstone, on 09/28/2008, -0/+1So there are a few question that the public would like to ask the candidates they are to be found at the following link:

Please do us the simple task ask them at least 3 of the top ten questions, and preferably the top 3.
As many have said the VP is just a heart beat away from taking up the mantel President of the United States of America it seems only fair that if they are going to lead us they must answer a few questions. - GliliumHkY, on 09/28/2008, -3/+31st question,
How can I be as rich as Bill Gates? - andreasbrekken, on 09/29/2008, -0/+0World domination -- one step closer every day. Seriously, they scare me.
Selling domains? www.nsym.com - avitorio, on 09/28/2008, -0/+0They also got Jesus instead of Youtube.
- betheturtle, on 09/28/2008, -2/+1Yeah, I've always thought Sergey sounded a lot like Abraham.
- Diggopolis, on 09/28/2008, -3/+2It's Google, that means that about 33% of the people out there will automatically hate it. lol
- inactive, on 09/28/2008, -2/+1MODS=GODS
- allaun, on 09/28/2008, -5/+1Wow, they finally decided to copy slashdot! :P *puts on vest of repellent flames with +10 defense.*
- smonster1, on 09/28/2008, -6/+1Is it REALLY necessary?
- smonster1, on 09/28/2008, -7/+1Is it REALLY necessary?
