I went with other, because although I don't use the actual service, I use it in that I like to read some stuff.  It's interesting particularly with the opinion polls where there is no right or wrong answer.  It's a pretty cool place in how vast it is.  I only wish I could understanding how to use the functions, lol.

I'm sure it's really good for trivia type things, for instance if you're looking for a particular song or movie and only know certain details.  That would help out quite a bit.  I've mostly only seen music questions there, but I'm guessing it can range from pretty much anything.

Yeah, I can't remember if I was logged into any kind of account when I was looking, but I wanted to answer once and I didn't see a place for any of them.  I probably just was a guest, unless guests can reply...?

Hmm, okay, lol.  If the question has been given a best answer, you can still reply though, right?

Oh, cool, lol.  I'm sure I'd be pretty good at that with a question related to my expertise.  The key is including but also offering more than what is just asked I think.

I'm actually surprised people have not heard of it though, lol.  I'm not usually into the newest things but this was one I recognized from many searches over the years for whatever.  It seems like one of those things that pops up for all these different subjects, like IMDb or Youtube.

It does come up a lot especially if you type in a question into a search bar. I find it quite convenient.

Personally I despise Yahoo Answers, most of the time the answers are pieces of crap like "I don't know", and a lot of the people who use it are very immature, kind of like the Youtube community.
