Is this Q&A beta for yahoo to collect information for their contextual ads?

OOOhhh, I never thought of that.  Plus any advertising person worth his salt will look in the Yahoo Answers search and find hundreds of answers without even going through the list.  WHAT A DEAL.  Free market research.  Wow. What will they think of next?

Probably not that they would advertise here.\n\nThink about it ... millions of users across the globe ... all seeking a quick fix ...\n\nHow many questions have you seen posted that asked things like, "I am stydng Engich at university.  Iam ameirca bourne and razed. send me 2000 iowa dolars and so i can schol to go.?"\n\nIf your company was the #2 (or whatever) search engine in the world, would you specifically make that known or quietly look and listen and seek out (through back channels) those institutions and/or students who really needed the help ?\n\nSomething tells me that Yahoo does quite a bit for the community, maybe not enough ... it's subjective.  I can certainly understand why they don't make that kind of thing too well known though.\n\nWhat might be a good tactic ... look around not at Yahoo, but at the colleges and universities that do well in the subjects such as IT, Communications, etc. in and around the region where Yahoo has it's headquarters.  People live there, they work there and support their schools.  They have somewhat of a common interest.\n\nYou might very well find something "related to" Yahoo, but it probably won't become clear until you're in the final running for it !   ;-)

Yahoo has a pretty good solution to this problem called "Mindset". Here is a link...\n\nhttp://mindset.research.yahoo.com/\n\nI like it because there are times that I want strictly information and other times when I am looking for a product. With this tool you can filter your results depending on your desire for information or pointers to commercial products.

The information they handed over was NOT private (as everyone is under the misconception that it was).  People should actually read the Terms of Use Agreement before signing up.  Yahoo! expressly states that they will cooperate with government authorities, including giving them requested information.  For them to have 'fought' would have flown in the face of their clearly stated principles.

It wouldn't be unethical. It just not what yahoo intends. see google answers. it serves a different audience and need

I would say yes, because you are inviting replies by putting it on yahoo.\n\nquestion = An expression of inquiry that invites or calls for a reply.

See, I think you are onto something here. I've been trying to figure out what this is all about. Why would Yahoo waste their time, energy, and money on this, when they aren't getting anything out of it? I mean, I would expect to at least see some ads, sponsers, links, etc.\n\nThere is a conspiracy here somewhere...

No, I don't think they are about a few things. They post system info on the site to get it out there, but it's not a question or answer. They also choose polling questions (which aren't allowed) as Featured Questions. Just last week, there was a question about everyone's favorite oatmeal flavoring and another about 'what is cool'. This does nothing but add to the confusion about what is and is not acceptable to be asked at this site. It's their game, I guess they can bend or break the rules as they see fit.\n\nSo are you gonna take them up on their offer and reclaim all your hard earned points Reaper???

No, i don't think so.\n\nHowever, I am sure that they read all questions (and answers) posted under "Yahoo Products" category. I read this in one of the answers given by the yahoo! Answers team. They normally reply when a question has not been answered at all or no correct answers have been provided. \n\nFor other categories, users themselves do the censoring work by using the "Report Abuse" facility.
