Question:

Why is Yahoo! Answers so popular?!

I mean I just love the idea of asking things. I think man develops a lot while asking simple stupid things (well, with some education though). Still, I think I'm pretty organized about what I do/like and I still find it hard to control myself since I discovered the service and have some time on my hands.

please give me your views on this!

  1. I am addicted too. I asked a question last year related to a car problem, I really didn't know what YA was. I got my answer and merrily went on my way. I came it across it again a few months ago, and the rest as they say is history. I have to log on every day, and answer questions. I laugh everyday at some of the questions and answers I read, and that's a good thing. I think any forum that allows people to feel they have an opinion that may be valuable to others is appealing and in this case rewarding. It's silly that being chosen as "best answer" gives me a thrill but it does, validation perhaps? I have to say some of the questions really get me thinking, and in some cases I get valuable information. I am now trying to get to level two, it seems far away, I don't have that much spare time. It doesn't bare thinking about getting all the way to level seven, but alas right now I am hooked. I think it's really simple for me, I like to give advice, and I opinions on everything from the meaning of fate and life to how to apply foundation or bake a pie. I get to share all that here to my hearts content.  


  2. Because its cool and you learn something new everyday.(smile)

  3. Because sadly there's still nothing better in this world then asking and answering questions and whether there ever will be is clouded by the greed of man and so little hope for things to get better.

  4. I think it is so popular because it allows people to express their opinions and maintain a level of anonymity.

  5. ...you can ask and answer...

    ...both are interesting and informative...

    ...interesting personalities are shared...

    ...i luv the creative AVATARS...

    ...thanks for asking...

  6. I think it's so popular because you have a sense of control over somthing, and in this case, your opinion. It challenges your thinking about subjects and people, and you can help people and learn something at the same time. Thank You Yahoo Answers.

  7. Its a tool for yahoo to make monies and let people interact for free. And I got addicted too now that I know what answers is.

  8. Well  myself I like helping others with answering question and it also passes time, as well as a learning experience.  

  9. i think its so popular on here, because everybody has questions that don't have scientific answers. people have opinion-based questions, and are interested in what real people have to say about things.
