Why do people ask their question on yahoo answers instead of google?

There are some questions that getting a response from another human is better than going to Google. As an example one of the types of questions I catch are about guitars. Google won't give you feedback the same way that a human can.

If someone asks about what brands to look at, Google can bring up thousands of guitars, but not all are equal or very good in terms of quality, and by asking here, a person can find out which brands, or even in what price range to avoid. Yes keywords can help, but it's won't tell someone to avoid for example to avoid buying from a discount retailer the thirty dollar guitars, which are considered junk. Another would be answers to questions about MySpace, or finding music based on artist/song preferences.

This is where human interaction serves better in getting an answer, without having to spend perhaps hours sifting through piles of information, to glean what they want to know. Also it doesn't serve as well in some cases personal experience, which has an advantage over as something that's not as personal. In short some people need that human touch to some answers.

The person probably doesn't wanna search themselves or the question that they are asking they could not find on Google and needs someone with knowledge in the subject to answer it for them.

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.
