Adieu to Google Answers Google to pull the plug on their AskMe-esque service.
It's not loading for me. I wonder if Google are feeling the dreaded "metachat" effect.

Farewell and adieu to you, Google Answers
Farewell and adieu...

harrumph, I hate it when PR crapnuggets don't say WHY something is being pulled and spend the whole post wankifying over the product/service they are about to murder.

AskMe-esque? Wasn't GA first? That's what I gathered from jessamyn's comments in the MeTa thread.

Google: Should we pull the plug on our AskMe-esque service?
Google Answers: Yes, although, in fact, GA came before AskMe.
Google: OK, adieu then.
Google Answers: Damn!

Alright. I'm glad I could split that particular linguistic hair for you. ENJOY YOUR NEW HAIRCUT.
