The significance of social Q&A sites is not how they compare against Wikipedia, it's for things that Wikipedia can't handle. You can't ask the following questions at Wikipedia and expect to get much:
- How do I get a stain out of my jeans?
- How do I deal with a cheating husband?
- What should I know when shopping for a digital camera?
- Where's a good Chicago-style pizza joint in LA?
Social Q&A is about people helping others with advice and knowledge that isn't easy to find in an ordinary search. Another huge flaw with this review was that the reviewer was purely looking for answers to factual questions, while one of Social Q&A's main strengths is in answering subjective questions.
