Cool stuff

it was very tempting to just jump in and start answering questions on yahoo answers...it is entertaining to read though the questions. the answer sharing option is not something i have seen available from libraries. i found myself thinking that i should submit more questions to libraries. even though i often comment that people do not know about, or just do not use what is available to them from libraries, i guess i don't use them myself. i usually ask friends or do my own research. in a way, it seems more approachable to throw a question up on yahoo answers than to use a library's ask a librarian feature. i'm trying to figure out why...it is appealing that users answer questions on yahoo answers - can a library "sponsor" a similar site and fact check the answers? maybe that is just too redundant. on another note, i discovered that i am really good at typing with wordshoot.
