I agree with salmacis. Metafilter is a much better resource, without all the "yahoos."<a class="user" href="http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/44394">http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/44394</a>

A lot of people do that, but you can "level up" faster by giving good answers that people think are the best. I was playing around with it for awhile, but then realized I was wasting a lot of time. I'm level 3, now what? yee haw.

Questions like that probably shouldn't be even asked online, in that case I recommend having friends in real life to ask.

Why is there not a single link to <a class="user" href="http://answers.yahoo.com">http://answers.yahoo.com</a> from that CNN article ? CNN does that all the time; they write an article about some website and then don't make it clickable ... I suppose they don't like people leaving their own website.

Being honest to make this claim Yahoo have poured loads of their search engine traffic directly into Yahoo Answers. You can see a link on every search page of the engine, which is fine and the site is clearly providing a service but this isnt exactly to do with the ground breaking design / functionality. Its just traffic being passed on & mostly users who couldnt find their answer of the crap search engine resuts.

It's not a great place for difficult questions and expert users. I've asked a few and never got a single good answer. Google Answers, on the other hand, (paid service) is great for such questions: <a class="user" href="http://answers.google.com/">http://answers.google.com/</a>

The problem with Yahoo Answers is that most of the answers are crap. Free garbage is still garbage.
