What makes Mahalo Answers better than Yahoo! Answers?

There's a lot of stupid questions on YA, and a lot of stupid responses - and way too many smart ass responses. And obviously, you can earn money on Mahalo, which you can't do on YA. Plus you can include videos and photos on Mahalo, and you can't do that on YA.

And the biggest reason is because YA banned me for linking to Mahalo! :).

In addition to what was said above (incentive against "Dine-n-dashing" and a better ranking system), two of the best things I've found with Mahalo Answers are the Mahalo employees and the Mahalo community (yeah, yeah, I know my nose is brown). What I like most about the Mahalo employees is that they clean up people's spelling and grammar in questions, so, unless the question is completely indecipherable, most people will be able to understand the question so as to provide a better answer. As far as the community is concerned, with few exceptions, people are polite and helpful even when people have different opinions on something.

That kind of amicability is virtually unknown on Yahoo! Answers.

3 reasons WHY MAHALO IS BETTER THAN YAHOO. 1 Theres a ranking system 2 There is a wider based range of questions And finally Yahoo is only good for E-mails.

answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AsiuKqCYxRU1... Go there and you'll see.

Outsourcing to the masses is nothing new–Google tried something similar with Google Answers. But it didn’t quite work. What is different about Mahalo answers?

For one thing, the question-askers are ranked on whether or not they actually pay out, so users can’t just ask a tough question, get a ton of answers, and then “dine ‘n’ dash,� So to speak. This tipping procedure will make it so the top answers are ranked according to how the well the questioner thought it was answered, unlike Yahoo Answers, which simply shows the latest answer.

As far as mahalo or for any business "Competition is the key to success in any business" so good to have competitors.

Because Mahalo is smooth, fast and reliable.

Yahoo answers are not upto the mark (personal opinion) Mahalo Answers sits right inside the Mahalo. Com site. Mahalo Answers stands unique from other Q&A sites by allowing users to give tips to those who answers their questions.

Users can earn Mahalo Dollars, which is a virtual currency with a one-to-one rate with U.S. Dollars.

I too am a member of both. I have just recently found Mahalo though. From what I have seen, Mahalo seems to be a bit more informative with more people doing a bit of homework before randomly answering questions they otherwise shouldnt answer.

Also yahoo answers has alot of negative critisism in some of the answers, and more often than not many of the questions seem to be people whining about random topics and often misposting the wrong topic and then being critized for it indefinatly.

Jason Calacanis (founded and sold Weblogs to AOL) is better entrepreneur than Jerry Yang (Yahoo rejected offer from Microsoft).

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.
