Jimmy Wales Quietly Launches Wikianswers

Here's a question for you. How many Q&A sites does the Web really need? Already, there is Yahoo Answers , WikiAnswers , Mahalo Answers , Linkedin Answers , ChaCha and dozens beyond . But Wikia (and Wikipedia) co-founder Jimmy Wales thinks there is room for one more. We learned from a tip that he has quietly launched Wikianswers , a Question & Answer site that attempts to create one true, consensus answer for each question, wiki-style. If this sounds familiar it is because Wiki Answers, which is part of Answers.com, does the exact same thing and had 26.7 million unique visitors worldwide in December (comScore). (Yahoo Answers had 144.7 million worldwide uniques in December). And then there is the little problem of the name. It is supposed to be Wikia Answers!, but in the current logo the last "a" of Wikia shares the first "a" of Answers, making it Wikianswers. The already established WikiAnswers might have a problem with that. (The URLs are different: http://answers.wikia.com and http://wiki.answers.com/, respectively)
