Solve all the questions and help other users by offering your answers to their problems.
Review by Raphael C.
Pros
It is a very old and popular service with a lot of experience. Questions get well positioned in Google.
It has a spelling corrector included.
User can attach images and links.
It has a system of scoring and reputation.
Cons
The quality of the questions and the answers that you can find in it. There are some that are really good, but some others are ridiculous, confusing or made irony and sarcasm.
Yahoo! Answers is an online service offered by Yahoo, a place where users can make all the questions they want and wait for other users to reply them.
The questions and the answers are organized through different categories and there exist different versions of the service in 12 different languages. You will be able, for example, to ask for or reply questions about programs and software in the 'technology section'.
The only people who will be able to ask and answer questions are the users of Yahoo, who has to register in the site and that it is free and very simple.
Once you have made a question, any user of Yahoo! will be able to reply to it. Obviously, the quality of the answers can be different as there are all class of trolls and eventfulness teens. To filter the good answer, the user will be able to vote for the answer as the best one or it can be voted by the community of the one who asked does not vote it. A question valued in this way can be highlighted in the main page and, the user who replied, wins scores.
The system of score allows to balance the usage of the questions and answers and it avoids, in a certain way, the spam. Reply and delete the answers takes score from the user which can be won again by answering other questions. If we got a good number of 'the best answer', we will be able to appear as a 'highlighted collaborator', something that is very good for our profile.
Each of the questions that are made has up to 4 days to be solved, even that can be closed before this time if there is a valid answer before this time.
On the other side, people who answer can also attach images and links to offer a better answer and it is recommendable to cite the sources that have been used for the answers. Just for curiosity, the editor of the texts checks automatically the spelling mistakes so we can correct them, something that, looking at the answers, is not very used for some users. In fact, Yahoo! Answers is quite ridiculed often for the low quality and the ignorance of a lot of the questions and the answers.
However, this does not mean that it is not one of the biggest services of questions and answers online in all the world; what makes that you get a solution to your question and can help to other users with your knowledge.

If you're lucky you'll find smart, collaborative people to solve many issues. Pity that normally fill all kinds of people without knowledge or wanting to disturb
helpful?
