Whether you're stumped about something or you're itching to share your expertise with knowledge-seekers online, Windows Live QnA beta provides a call-and-response forum that also enables social networking.

Once we received access to Windows Live's question-and-answers service with our Windows Live ID, we immediately started posing questions and replying to other users' queries without a hitch. We like that you can type your own topic tags to categorize your question rather than having to choose from a nested list of categories, as Yahoo Answers and Answerbag require. Popular QnA tags include computers, technology, home, and entertainment. You can subscribe to an RSS feed that will ping you via e-mail when a new answer arrives for your question.

Windows Live QnA
Windows Live QnA beta lets you click another user's picture and instantly jump to that person's Windows Live Spaces blog, view their contacts, or start an IM chat with them on Messenger. However, we wish we could more easily disguise ourselves to protect our privacy.

Just click the arrow below another user's picture, and you can see that person's Windows Live Spaces blog, view their friends, invite them to be your Windows Live Contact, and chat with them on Windows Live Messenger. We found that Yahoo Answers made it easier to hide our identity off the bat, if we so wished. We hope that Microsoft will make it easier for QnA users to go incognito. After all, aren't some of your most pressing questions also the most embarrassing to ask? You can report users who misbehave, or click on the Superstar Users link to find people who have racked up lots of points.
