Do you think many people are asking questions on Yahoo!Answers because?

they are using "dial up" for Internet
connection and want to save the telephone fee for searching information on the net?

no. I am using broadband for Internet

No, they do it because they are lazy!

i don't agree. i just answer yahoo questions for the thrill of getting some points. weird, i know.

just you, maybe...

Maybe, but more personal questions I think people just need help

That would be weird - - - even with dial up one will get more intelligent answers from a web search than this format. On some weird level a lot of people are bored and posing questions lets them reach out to the rest of humanity. A few have genuine questions but most are searching for entertainment. Peace. PS your Cat Rocks.....

nope! - the service is here so they are using it, if they werent using this, we wouldnt be here answering it, we would have to find sumtin else to do with our time

No I believe people engage for the sociability, stimulation and the fun.
Maybe I'll ask "Why?" - but I'm trying to accumulate points.

no i dont think so.i think i tis just a time pass and sometimes (though it is very rare)we can get some kowledge too.but i dont think people can find answer for the questions they are searcing(if the question is too general)in yahoo answers

No, I think they (and the rest of us who are using Yahoo Answers)
prefer and enjoy connecting with real people, rather than just surfin' for info all the time.

no..they r bored and have nothing else to do

No, because this site is fun.

I shouldn't have thought that's the reason, because with having to wade through so many utterly stupid answers before a decent one shows itself it would surely cost them even more!

I think it's fun to read other peoples answers and get more points. It's a good way to see what people think of things all across the world.

passing time

no, they do it because it is fun and intertaining.
and some do answers and questions for information too.

i think sometimes this is easier and you can alot of times get an answer faster,if you hang on the phone you have to go thur recording after recording and when you finally get to where you need to be ,you then go on hold for a couple of hours.

You got it absolutely.................................

No because you can have a dial-up connection and opt for the anytime package a fixed fee every month.

I use this service because I genuinely seek out the opinions of others. Sometimes I just want to learn about what ideas are out there. Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy for thinking or acting the way I do and I want other people to tell me what they think.

Hi.
I believe that people ask on Yahoo simply because it isn't as cold and impersonal as the major search engines. Someone has taken the trouble and time to reply,maybe share a personal experience, or just make you look at things from a different perspective.
It's a live,dynamic environment- a bit like sitting chatting in a bar, but without having to buy 160,000 drinks.
So it's cost effective.
You do however meet the odd loony. Like me. Hello.
Live the dream x

Its just something to do when your bored. i thing most people are on broadband now, and those who aren't cant afford to get addicted to anwers

I do it for fun

I don't think that is the reason they ask questions.

becouse they are lazy!, most questions on here can be answred be typing it in yahoo search lol

perhaps or they need some answers

no, they do because they are jobless weed abusers.

nope broadband here. I don't ask though I'm the one doing the research lol!
