Google gives some advice...for a price

By Stefanie Olsen , Staff Writer, CNET News.com, April 19, 2002, 1:40 PM PT

In yet another test of new services, Google is quietly wading into the expert-advice market, a lackluster business that proved too taxing for some former Net highfliers.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based search site launched the beta site Google Answers, https://answers.google.com/answers/main, where "live researchers answer your questions on any topic for a fee," according to the site. The service was introduced Thursday to family and friends of Google staff members, according to a company representative. It plans to slowly present the site to visitors via e-mail in the upcoming week. The fees seems to be in the $4-5.00 range and you receive 75% of that fee, however there have been questions with a $20.00 or $50.00 fee. Don’t know how many other researchers there are or will be and Google has an application process that you can find on Google Answers, https://answers.google.com/answers/main
