While browsing for a way to unfreeze my frozen iPod on Yahoo!, I went through some decent search results, but when I reached the bottom of the page, the following image caught my eye:
The positive part about Yahoo! Answers is the fact that most people would rather click to view other response’s to the same question they are looking to answer. This would be much more simpler than having to weed through numerous search results which display text which might not exactly provide you a definitive answer to your question/search query.
It looks like Yahoo! Answers are really pushing their new service, but they are not confident that they have not built up a decent database of questions. I would personally suggest that they place their top Yahoo! Answers Result right between the fifth and sixth result if they believe that it can truly help the search query.
Yahoo! could probably better their search algorithm to offer more than links to other websites, unlike Google and MSN. Yahoo! could actually provide useful results to their visitors while growing an enormous community. I have high hopes for Yahoo! Answers!

Some of those results in the picture show that they answer the questions? I have used Yahoo answers from Yahoo’s results in the past and think its a great idea being displayed at the top.
