You can ask a question to a stranger in chat, who knows how they'll respond to you. It's interesting to think about.
iMedix
http://www.imedix.com
If you're specifically looking for health related questions, this one is definitely a great one.
SodaHead
http://www.sodahead.com
SodaHead is cool because you can survey people, and it's more of a multiple choice type of answers.
ChaCha
http://www.chacha.com
I like this, as it's kind of like a mobile Mahalo, where you can get quick answers by texting or calling ChaCha.
Meet The Famous
http://meetthefamous.com
If you're into celebrities, this is a good one to check out, you get paid for taking a pictures of celebrities, pretty cool.
FanIQ
http://www.faniq.com
If you're at all into sports scores, you might find FanIQ fun to play around with as well, as you can answer questions about sports trivia and pick the scores of the games.
What I think anyone should do, is go to SimilarSites.com and check out the similar ones picked there, yet I think humans like myself can share from experience.

M$I enjoyed it for awhile, but ultimately I was only available for the late night shift and during that time you get a lot of WEIRD questions that were difficult for me to answer. It's definitely worth giving a shot, though, to see if you like the system.
If you like writing how-tos, there's ehow.com. To make it more lucrative, check out WriterGig's ebook on maximizing earnings there: http://residualincomeweb.com/ehowebook.html. It costs $25, but I've read reviews that say the book is easily paid for once you apply the principles to your articles.

just curious, did you get a lot of Chuck Norris questions late at night? Every time I turn around, seems like somebody is talking about Chuck Norris giving somebody a roundhouse to the head, and it's always late at night.
Ahahaha, oh yeah. Chuck Norris makes a regular appearance at night. I think the part I didn't like most about late nite shifts was that the questions were often nonsensical, and not in a funny way. They were hard to understand, let alone answer.
Another kgb_ agent here too and yes, the late shift is definitely strange. Mahalo is much better for both earnings and participation.
http://www.askpedia.com/ is as good as Mahalo.
http://www.mylot.com/agmp26 is also a good site. You can also earn there with your knowledge and opinions.
http://askville.amazon.com/ is also a good place to answer questions, too.

When I looked askepedia over, it seemed as if the questions were worth a lot less than here. For example you earned a few points for each question and 100 points is worth 75 cents? Is that true? If so, you would have to answer thousands of questions to make much money. Am I confused?
Interesting sites. Surprisingly Mahalo-like.
@keepontryin.... I found this in the Askpedia help....

# How do I cash out my Points?
If you accumulate more than 10,000 Points, you will see an option in your "Home" tab to cash them out to your PayPal account. Your Points will be redeemed as USD $0.75 for every 100 Points.

So it sounds like 100 points = M$1 = $0.75 US, and you can cash out if you have the equivalent of M$100 in your balance.
If you sort the questions by "Highest Reward", there are a bunch that offer rewards in the range 1K - 10K points, which would be the same as M$10-M$100.
http://www.askpedia.com/qlisting/category=all&tag=_&status=all&order=reward_desc
EDIT:
On a closer look, those high reward questions were asked over a long period, and are as much as 2 years old. So it may be that not many higher rewarded questions get asked, plus it may be that they do not get to closure, so they remain in limbo with no best answer being selected.
Would be interesting to hear from @ai-ai if that is so or not.

There is only one site which I found comparable to Mahalo (but alas, it does not pay you to answer) and that is
www.answers.yahoo.com
There are few others too, but I am sure that those who like Mahalo will not like them. For example;
www.guruza.com (God knows whether it is a scam or not, but it seems like one. It never responds).
www.knowbrainers.com (You never know whether and when they found the answer for the question).
www.expertbee.com (They say that you need to deposit some money first to answer a paid question or to do a paid task. This is ridiculous)
www.askagent.com (They never seem to have a vacancy for an expert).
So, that's that.
From the point of view of finding like minded people;
www.facebook.com
www.orkut.com
From the point of view of searching for quality content and getting paid for writing some too:
www.squidoo.com
www.hubpages.com
But at the same time, I must say that Mahalo is a great combination of these all. It's just great!
Thanks

You can register as an expert at something, provide reasons why you are an expert, and then if someone wants to find a true expert they hire you to do anything from chat or work on a project.
I've been registered as a playwriting expert for a few months and have done brief consulting for three students so far. I imagine that other categories get more traffic :)

The only other site that i've used like this is http://answers.yahoo.com/
I like the format of Mahalo better. Though the front page/home page of Mahalo is a bit distracting to me. Looks more like it caters to kids than adults.

Interesting list, esp ChaCha and iMedix.
SimiliarSites.com only really throws up straight search engines as being supposedly similar to Mahalo though.
