🌐 Yahoo! Answers started in December 2005 (testing began July 5, 2005) and was created to replace Ask Yahoo!, their former Q&A platform which was discontinued in March 2006. It was based on the Korean site called Knowledge Search on the Naver search engine. It is the largest knowledge-sharing community on the web.

🌐 It’s an online community where anyone can ask and answer questions on any topic. Yahoo! Answers connects people to the information they’re seeking with those who know it. Everyone has life experience and knowledge about something, and Yahoo! Answers provides a way for people to share their experience and insight.

🌐 The idea is to post questions for others to answer. It cost points to ask and you earn points by answering. You can see how the points work by clicking on "about" in the left column. There are no prizes.

It is a place to go where you can get answers to questions you have that you cannot find solutions for during an internet search

From the Community Guidelines:

"Yahoo Answers is an online COMMUNITY in which participants ask and answer questions on a wide range of topics, from the serious to the DELIGHTFULLY TRIVIAL." [emphasis added]
