Facebook Q & A service on Thursday announced the launch of new version of "Questions". Questions with the previous version of the new version is almost completely different, but also will no longer be a question and answer site Quora threat.
Facebook launched last July Questions, the industry was on Facebook that optimistic about this new service. Facebook has 500 million users were already, so the service is likely to replace a huge flow of Yahoo Answers. In addition, the service will also work with start-ups much outside attention in direct competition Quora, which is a former Facebook CTO Adam D'Gloucestershire (Adam D'angelo) founded. However, Facebook users had been limited use of Questions, Questions rumors that failed to attract enough users.
Questions contracted new service targets. Users will not be released to the entire Facebook community, but rather more in line with Facebook's "social" characteristics. When the user questions, the friends will appear in a dynamic structure of the vote, friends will be able to vote for a different answer, or add your own answers. So the industry believes that new and perhaps more should be known Questions "Facebook vote."
For example, when a user asks Which friends in San Francisco's favorite restaurants, the user can make several restaurants as a candidate in advance.

When friends to vote, the voting results will appear in the friends of the friends of the dynamics. In other words, the user questions will achieve viral spread. Response from the user will be highlighted friends, but if a large number of users are concerned about the issues raised, it also received many replies from strangers.
Questions with the previous version, the user can browse by topic question, but only in the dynamics of your friends to see the problem. This is a huge adjustment, which means the goal is not to be similar to the Questions Quora huge knowledge base. Instead, the service is to help users get the recommendations of friends.
Facebook product manager Adrian Graham (Adrian Graham) said the adjustment reflects the way users use the older Questions. Typically, the user will direct questions to the friends. However, some strangers for a long reply, which led to the user's friends may no longer respond. Questions will address this new problem.
