Q&A site for programming questions - StackOverflow has really taken off from the beginning of 2009. It's now Alex 1,570, which is extremely high for such a niche site (of course, the intended audience is all using the Alexa toolbar!).
They have an extensive user karma/reputation system to try to control spam.

I haven't used Yahoo Answers yet - but it seems like it's doing very well (and one of the few places Google is being handed their hat even when they had a very early entrant to the market).
Now Yahoo is adding a social networking component ("in beta") to help you stay connected with experts you count on.
Quoted: Yahoo Answers is a bright spot for the company. Archrival Google had a competing service called Google Answers that never took off and was put out to pasture last year. In late December of last year, market researcher Hitwise Pty reported that, among Q&A-type search engines, Yahoo Answers held a 96 percent of share of visits in the U.S. Answerbag ranked second with 2.04 percent and Microsoft's Windows Live Q&A came in third with 1.02 percent.

Amazon's "answers" site. Is this the same one that Kindle owners got access to when the 1.0 Kindle was released?
