Shortly after Google's acquisition over Aardvark, Facebook is all geared up to roll out a similar 'Questions & Answers' feature.
Currently the feature is open for Beta testers only, wherein they have to submit any 3 questions with most suitable answers. It is pretty much similar to Wiki Answers & Yahoo Answers as well; but Aardvark's functioning matches the most with this new Q&A feature.
According to Facebook "it will be as exciting as Facebook Photos and Facebook Events, but we need your help to make it great". If you wish to beta-test the application, you can submit your questions and answers here.
Facebook has been struggling very hard with its privacy issues, but that is not stopping them from launching new applications. Q&A sure sounds like a good idea, specially when Facebook is determined to provide its users with "everything" within one site, but we really hope that this new feature turns out to be as useful as Aardvark and without any privacy concerns.
