One of the best things we now have due to the Internet is the ease with which we can research anything, including any shopping-related questions.
There is no reason to ask all your friends and relatives for advice: all you need is sit in front of your computer and find if your question has been asked already (or, if not, ask it yourself and get plenty of replies from real people and experts).
This is why Q&A sites are so popular: they connect you to people who know how to solve your problem.

Although our service — Replyz (http://replyz.com) missed the opportunity to make your list of Q&A sites, we certainly hope you’ll consider taking a look at us. Of course, we realize there are a lot of me-toos in this space, and having been in the Q&A space for a decade ourselves, we wanted to try something novel and needed. Toward that end, we just came out with Replyz.com, which displays a real-time stream of the questions people are asking on Twitter, and makes it easy to jump in and respond, often through your Twitter account, and see all the other responses from others. Thus, in a sense we’re making Twitter into the Q&A site that it’s always had the potential to be. Hope that’s of some interest as you keep an eye on this thriving space.
