If there is option for airconditer water then we will not drink but if there is no option we have to Drink.

Both have different point of view.

lol
I think its just because we always see tussle between the two. So they might be trying to provide “different view point” to their users.

Nice review and specially I like the way you compared google answers with yahoo answers.
And It’s bad to see google answers are gone, I really loved reading them.

[...] First of all, it’s the wisdom of crowds, not wisdom of the crowds. But whatever. If this is the wisdom of crowds, I want nothing to do with it. Have you seen the answers provided in Yahoo! Answers? They’re almost uniformly bad. Maybe I’ve only been finding the bad ones… but really, what are the odds of that? This post has a very nice comparison of the 4 questions mentioned in Google Answers “adieu post.” (Nice work, AU interactive, whoever you are.)

That is one interesting research work you did here :)

I do invite you to check out Yedda (http://yedda.com).

While free, it uses a different interaction model than the one used in other services.

I think that you will quickly notice that the “quality” of the questions & answers on Yedda is much better than in other free services, and on the relevant topics, often approaches the rather high quality that was previously found on Google Answers.

Of course, the real credit for this goes to the amazing community of folks using Yedda…
