Answer 1

In this world there is much information, here it can be tapped on a personal basis, you may know or experienced something I need or you may be my sounding board.

If we all used an honest answer it could work well, as always still, you have to take every answer with a grain of salt.

you can share what's on your block what's in your town

even whats going on in your house, it could help me. for example ..

how much you pay to heat your home where you live? I may have thought about living there.  The list goes on..

Answer 2

I like to know what people think without having to actually talk  to anyone. I'm kind of a hermit. I don't drive and live way out in the boonies so I don't get a chance to talk to people but every couple of months. I guess you could say it keeps me painlessly in touch.

Answer 3

I was initially drawn to the site because I was looking for pretty specific information (I think about an illness one of my cats had)...

From there I just kept noticing simple little questions that I could answer - and Yahoo was giving "points" - so there was that little bit of fleeting incentive, as if somehow the site were a competition.  The points don't mean as much as they used to, now that I use the site regularly.

At first the questions would be simple, but then I started to answer ones in my areas of expertise, and started getting a lot of "best answers," which meant that others were finding my input to be helpful.

There are three reasons I keep coming back:

1) I like to feel helpful.

2) I'm able to share the things I've learned over the years.  My real-life colleagues could care less about topics like sociology!

3) I have stupid little questions that I can't get out of my head sometimes - this is an outlet for them (even if the answers I get are sometimes unhelpful).

I feel a little bit of attachment to the site.  There are particular users whose questions and answers I watch and enjoy, so I suppose you could say there's a small sense of "community."   ...I don't know any other users in real life though (that I'm aware of; I get the feeling most of them are between the ages of 12-16 - or at least write like they are!).  It's not an ideal website for social networking.

Answer 4

I use yahoo to share my knowlege on diverse topics. Like........ I am a verterinarian so i usually come online to answer other peoples' questions about their animals   I think this is typically why most people use Yahoo Answers but it also could be just because they like seeing other people's opinions.                Hope this answers your question!
