So I saw this ad for Yahoo Answers. IT is a site where you post a question, and other users post replies to it and you get emails with answers. It sounds cool for things that you can't find on search engines.
In the ad, I saw a sample question "How can I be an environmentalist without being a hippie?" I found it interesting enough, so I went to the site and typed in that quiestion.
It turns out that the sample question doesn't even have an answer in there.
Then I looked at a question that someone posted to maybe offer some answers. Someone asked how much 4,00 Euros is in US dollars. I went to a currency converter and learned that it was $5.40. So I posted the answer.
I then looked at all of the other answers for that question. Big shock....everyone had different answers, some of which had to be intentionally misleading to people.
Conclusion: This site sucks and is a waste. It looks like it has potential, but its batting percentage is low.
