Askville - This is Amazon's version of Yahoo! Answers.

Askeet! - Askeet! is a near direct clone of Yahoo! Answers, but it's also the demo project for the Symfony PHP framework. So if you want the source code for your very own Yahoo! Answers clone, then look no further.

Ask a Librarian - Send questions by email to a network of librarians using this service from the US Library of Congress.

Uclue - Uclue is almost identical to the old Google Answers. In fact, it was started by ex-Google Answers researchers. Ask a question, set a price, get an answer.

JustAnswer - More or less the same thing as Uclue, though perhaps in a prettier package.

ChaCha - Experts guide you on your web search and help you find the results you're looking for (or, that's the idea).

Ether - Ether lets people set themselves up as paid phone consultants. My guess is that at some point they might set up a directly of consultants using their service.

Qunu - Talk directly to experts via a Jabber IM client.

Everyday Questions - The idea here was to take questions and answers and turn them into funny flash cartoons. Doesn't seem to have happened, but that hasn't stopped people from continuing to ask questions (if not actually answering them).
