I use to use it a lot before I discovered MYLOT. They're pretty similar websites, except mylot is better of course. hehe. I like it because you don't get penalized for asking questions, the quality of responses count, and it's just a much better crowd here. Plus you get paid! lol.

Hello! Yes, I use Yahoo Answers from time to time. I don't like them as well because I have over 3000 points there and I am upset that I cannot use the points for anything. I feel that since the points really do nothing for me they should not even have a point system and people should be able to ask questions without penalty like on myLot. I think myLot is better because there are so many users and they pay you for posting. Yahoo Answers does not pay you. However, they have so many languages on there such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Tangolo, etc. On myLot there is only English (for the most part) being used. So that is my point of view. Have a nice day. Pablo

i agree with that, penalised for not knowing some things a bit harsh, both useful to find out information about topics but mylot is better for meeting people. However i found out about mylot through yahoo answers.

I use yahoo answers when I want to get a opinion on something. Cause everyone has different views of certain things and it can be very helpful.

I used to a little bit, but it was usually more for finding specific answers to specific questions. I will still use it on occasion, but I don't answer anything there anymore. If there is something that I can direct to people who might know the answer, then I will ask it there because a lot of times we cannot get those specific responses from myLot, but that's the only time. Even that is kinda starting to not be needed with Yahoo! as well because there are a lot of people on Yahoo! who are not knowledgeable either.

I personally enjoy both communities the same. I like this one because you make money and I like Answers because people usually only reply if they actually, you know, have an answer.

I use both yahoo and myLot.whereas in the former you can search for questions easily(it has a search tab ) and more over it has discussions on science and biology. but when it comes to other topics I may use the latter. (well, I've joined only a couple of days ago.)
