Week 8, #19 - Web 2.0 Award-winning Site

I explored Yahoo Answers since, as a reference librarian, I provide answers for people. I found a lot of strange questions and answers on the site. The idea is for anyone to answer your question, so you have no idea whether they know what they are talking about or not. I could imagine some use in a library setting, for example in answering questions that would require local information from somewhere else. If a patron had a question about Montana or Minnesota, it might be possible to get information through Yahoo Answers. Again, you would have to be able to verify the information.
