Depends on what you are looking for I used to go to yahoo answers, made it up to level 6. But there is so much trash there. I think if they have higher numbers it's because so many kids use it for playtime.

Askville was probably too new to be included in the PC Mag article. I just got tired of all the obscene stuff and the stupid questions and rude answers. You see very little of that here.

Plus, it seems like there is more of a community feeling here as opposed to Yahoo. We have more of a chance to interact with each other. I kind of prefer the point system here, also.

I kind of hope Askville doesn't become as popular as Yahoo Answers, so we can keep it a friendly, mature place! Poppet! 's Recommendations PC Magazine Best of Utilities Software Suite Amazon List Price: $29.95 Used from: $8.96 .

Askville is a game - Reference the PC Mag article, and see other beta sites reviewed - the look and feel is similar... AP - I don't think that askville is more than a game, e.g. Not strictly an "answer site", but askville is a surprisingly a fun, interactive resource for answers. Here are some differences that I found: Yahoo gives distinct catagories for users - that may seem well-developed, however, it may be quite stifling, for example, you probably won't find a category for "crap" - and, that's one reason is that I like askvile. Yahoo has a unique answering system that allows the user to search for America or other - weird isolationism.

And, on the other hand, you may go into the site and translate it into many languages, suggesting globalization of their answer site. There are many featured sponsors prominent on the Yahoo website - a larger presence than the askville's site, I believe. Trivia: I typed in llary Clinton and then askville to see how many "hits" I would get on questions - askville got about a gazillion more - maybe an exageration, but maybe "askville" should be a write in for the next presidential election?!

At least we'd know that the attempt to answer questions for the public will be based on "for the people, by the people..." and all that noise. Heck, askville has my vote! Good question, AP, Shirl Answer Sites - Source: http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,128248/printable.html The Web has sites where you can ask nearly any reasonable question--such as "What's the best way to schedule backups for Windows XP?

" or whether to break it off with a flaky boyfriend--and get multiple useful answers from strangers within hours, if not minutes. Free advice is supposed to be worth what you paid for it, but some of these sites may have you rethinking that adage. Winner: The most well-developed answer site is Yahoo Answers.

Anyone with a Yahoo ID can post or answer questions, which get funneled into diverse categories ranging from amusement parks to taxes in India. A rudimentary point system deducts points for asking questions and rewards you for answering questions. Answers come astonishingly quickly, and they seemed surprisingly good.

A question about whether to overclock a new Intel processor garnered three answers in less than 5 minutes, while one about what fertilizer to use for a potted lime tree came in about 15 minutes. Runner-up: Microsoft is working on its own tag-based answers site called Windows Live QnA Beta. Although answers were somewhat tough to find, QnA users responded nearly as quickly as Yahoo Answers users.

Not surprisingly, queries about Microsoft products brought out the best in QnA members. One about how to schedule backups and disk defragmenting for Windows XP received four answers, including how to use XP's built-in tools, how to run a defrag multiple times via a batch file, and a suggestion for an automated Web backup service. Even the nontechie questions I asked about magazine recommendations and lime-tree fertilization, however, returned relevant and timely answers.

Also-rans: Metablog site Ask MetaFilter has some very smart people answering quirky questions, but it costs $5 to join. Israeli startup Yeddayedda. Com lets you sign up for keywords and be e-mailed when a question matching your expertise hits the system (as with all these services, you can both ask and answer questions); so far it remains only lightly trafficked, however.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
