Wikipedia Channel

Facebook launched the beta version of Facebook Questions this week in what looks to be a mashup of Wikipedia, Google Buzz and LinkedIn Answers.  Since this is Facebook, the questions so far are more personal and whimsical than LinkedIn's professional question and answer forums. 

The question out of the gate is whether Facebook Questions can become the greatest crowdsourcing tool we have ever seen or if it will mostly spawn conversations that are more entertaining than informative.
