I should have followed my UQAN idea

Another day goes by, and another questions and answers service comes up. As this TechCrunch article suggests, Q&A services are growing bigger because people are better answer-givers than search engines. Yahoo! Answers is now the biggest Q&A service around, but more and more are popping up. I already wrote about Guruza and Illumio which look very similar to my own UQAN idea. The new guy on the block is Answerbag and there are probably more to come (Google Answers is a paid service so it’s kind of different.)

All this brings me to the inevitable conclusion that I should have followed the idea of UQAN (Universal Questions and Answers Network) instead of dropping it a few years ago.
