Yahoo Answers
Yahoo Answers is still in the Beta stage and it is already quite addictiing! It is sort of like a huge community where everyone can post questions on whatever they have questions about. Everyone is free to answer and then you can also vote for the best answer. They have also set up a point system with points and levels. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system It helps determine your reputation and shows that you are very involved. This could be helpful when someone is looking for a serious response. Which brings me to the next area. Already there are some jerks involved who ask very inflamatory questions just to be smart alecks. Yahoo will need to find a way to address this problem and do a better job of screening and banning. I read a post that was almost obscene and the guy that wrote it had been reported numerous times yet the post is still there and he is still active. Leaving it open for abusers might drive the serious users away which would be sad. I think Yahoo has come up with a terrific concept here and I hope to see that they get the above issues resolved so that everyone can enjoy it. Powered By Qumana |
