There are similar sites, but you will find things about the same or much worse than on YA. Allexperts is a site where you submit questions to specific experts and wait for an answer (2-3 days). LivePerson is faster, but you pay for the answers.
If all you want is chat, try dizzay.com.
Ask.com they don't have stupid workers over THERE.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
