    Selected by the asker, byankno1. (What's this?)

    Internet Oracle was the first type of Q&A sites. (http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi)

    A user sends a question to the Oracle via e-mail, or the Internet Oracle website, and it is randomly sent to another user who has asked a question. This second user may then answer the question (or not; if it is not answered within 24 hours it is put back into the queue to be given to another user to answer). Meanwhile, the original questioner is also sent a question which he/she may choose to answer. All exchanges are conducted through a central distribution system which also makes all users anonymous.

    A completed question-and-answer pair is called an "Oracularity".
