What happened to Facebook Answers?

Facebook had a launched a service called Facebook Answers, just a couple of months ago.

However it seems that the Palo Alto, California based company has decided not to launch this service due to lukewarm response from users.



It should be noted that even Google is trying very hard to make Aardvark, a similar service profitable.

However Facebook answers has very though competition from well established Q and A websites like Yahoo Answers and Wiki Answers.

Google was forced to close down Google Answers, and it seems Facebook Answers will be also be put to rest in the same manner.

If a service or product is not profitable enough for a company , it makes no sense in launching it.
