Following Yahoo Answers and “Answers@Mail.ru” , Microsoft is also trying to enter the social search market. Their experimental development of Windows Live QnA has approximately the same functionality: here users can ask questions and receive answers, as well as conduct full-text search in the accumulated "knowledge base" or search by tags (for each question, the author indicates a number of thematic tags).
After the question has arisen, the community of “experts” has four days to answer it, otherwise the question is removed. For the answer, reward points are awarded, and in each topic a vote is taken for the best answer. The most intelligent experts near the nickname, one after another, appear golden stars.
