Website Review by: Anonymous    


Does your teacher ask you a lot of answers to find out, is your mind full of questions or do you have the answers but don’t
know where to share them? Then Yahoo Answers is the right place for you. Yahoo Answers is a kind of community website launched by Yahoo in December 2005. This website allows its users to ask and answer questions posed by other users. All questions are allowed except the ones those violate the Yahoo Answers community guidelines. A Yahoo e-mail address id all you need to become a user of Yahoo Answers, but you can use any name for your identification in Yahoo Answers. You can also use your Yahoo Avatar or Yahoo 360 picture for identification. To encourage users, helpful participants are rarely featured on the Yahoo! 360° blog page. A unique point system is adopted to encourage users answer questions and reduce chances of spam questions. There are also levels which give users more site access. You are awarded some points when you open an account. By answering questions you earn points while posting question will costs you some points. A number of celebrities have also been brought in to ask questions from Yahoo! users. These include – Stephen Hawking, Marilyn vos Savant, Abdul Kalam, Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton.
