Facebook has jumped into the online Q&A space with Facebook Questions, a beta feature that can be viewed by all Facebook users. This is how it works: Click on the “Ask Question” feature, which can be found in the status bar. Type in a query — say, “What is the best pizza restaurant in Adams Morgan?” The question becomes visible to all Facebook users. People posing questions can use a tag, in this case, “Washington, D.C.,” to direct them to those best able to provide answers. The question goes out to users who share that topic’s interest, as well as to the questioner’s network.
