Search site Genon uses live journal to seek help
Roman Yaroslavtsev, Webplanet
Genon.ru, that owns an original Russian language questions-and-answers service has set up a
blog, dedicated to the discussion of its project. The business model of the start-up is reminiscent of
Google Answers. Users ask questions in natural language and the company pays the authors of answers money based on the number of times their responses are visited. As regards the income from the project itself, there is for now only one arrangement: "if you need a response in the quickest possible time, you can detail a price you are prepared to pay for a response". However, it is possible that ads will appear on the site. However, the site has not yet been enjoying success with visitors. It seems that the concept of the project is just too advanced for the .ru zone.
