"Google launches user-led Q&A service in Arabic"
http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090908/ap_on_hi_te/ml_tec_techbit_mid...

"Google decided to launch its tool, called Google Ejabat after the Arabic word for "answers," after discovering many of its Arabic users' searches failed to turn up relevant results.

...

The company does not offer a service like Ejabat in English, but has launched similar tools in Russian, Chinese and Thai, Dubai-based spokeswoman Joanne Kubba said."

You think that?

Take a look at the Google Help Forum:
http://www.google.com/support/forum?hl=en

It has all the elements of Yahoo Answers: askers, answerers, accepted
answers, popularly-endorsed answers, accumulation of karma points,
etc.

All it needs to be a Yahoo Answers competitor is for Google to extend
the list of question categories beyond Google products. The software
is there already.
