Discovery Communications has unveiled Curiosity, a new question-and-answer site. Curiosity is in the same tone as its predecessors ( Answer.com, Yahoo Answers, Quora, Facebook Questions and Pupil), but with an interesting take that sets it apart from the existing Q&A sites. Curiosity relies on expert opinions and response to a selected set of questions, instead of crowd sourced answers to user-generated queries.

Millions of people ask questions on social media in hopes of getting a crowdsourced response.

Serial Entrepreneurs Brian Norgard and Dan Gould, founders of Newroo (acquired by News Corp) and Ad.ly (the largest micro endorsement platform), experimented their way into next creation: the world’s first real-time global conversation community.
Today, that community exists in limited release alpha at Namesake.com. Compared by many to Twitter, Quora, Facebook, Yahoo Answers and more, Namesake stands on its own differentiating laurels. Operating as a real-time conversation engine, the platform enables members to converse around topics which they are passionate about via an extremely intuitive user experience that has no peers.
Wondering why Quora is gaining so much steam? It’s not too complicated: there is a need on the web for a fast way to get answers from experts. Is Reddit’s IAMA doing the same sort of thing, but better?
Online video lets people share their talents with the world, make their friends laugh, promote products and more and now, with new video Q&A site VYou, it lets you ask questions and get answers from friends, strangers and even celebs.
