How does Yahoo Answers sort their answers?

What sort of people use Yahoo Answers, and what sort are you?

  • With a lot of online forums, it's easy to see what demographic frequents the site as they are typically aimed at one type specifically. However, Answers seems to allow for a lot of interaction between a diverse group of subforms and their respective users. It seems like anyone can find something to do here, but are there any similarities between users and their life experience?

  • Answer:

    Possibly, and it a really interesting question... I'm a 15 yrs old girl who's quite invisible at school. Online I'm more outgoing and more "popular". I like helping people, like.. Acting like a psychologist I guess. And Answers gives me that opportunity. I get to help people with all kinds of stuff. I just find it nice to help people, but for some reason it doesn't quite work irl (in real life). I think you can find all kinds of people here though. But yeah, best of luck finding out :)

Other answers

There are all kind of people: people who like socializing with people around the world in their spare time, people who like giving advice, people who have no lives, people who want advice all the time & people who choose this over Facebook (as many people are addicted to Facebook). I like socializing with people around the world, and learning about different people that way, but I also like giving advice. I do have a life outside Yahoo! Tho. :)

Agirl.

I'm social and love giving my opinion and talking, it's why I'm here... that and the free donut table. I answer questions, people email me and we get to know eachother - tons of fun. Only similarity between this user and reallife experience is I'm here to kill time in between whatever else is going on... plus I'm social, love giving my opinion and talking lots in person also. *waves to Omar and passes him a donut*
