Happy Birthday, Yahoo! Answers
Two and a half years ago, a small team (three of us, to be exact) took a trip overseas to Yahoo! Taiwan to bring Yahoo! Knowledge Search—a thriving social search product—here to the U.S. Its concept was simple—people have knowledge and experience that others may find useful, so bring them together in a community and amazing things will happen. Since the U.S. launch in December 2005, Yahoo! Answers has become the largest knowledge-sharing community on the Web with more than 20 million users in the U.S. and more than 90 million worldwide.
Every day, we are amazed by the community that has formed in the past two years. Friendships have developed, ordinary people have become known and respected for their knowledge and generosity, and lives have been changed. We will continue to build, evolve, and improve Answers and its community in the coming year, and we hope you will join us in the process. Thanks for your passion, participation, and knowledge.
To commemorate the birthday, the Yamster posted this question: How has Yahoo! Answers impacted your life? Thanks to everyone who took the time to share a story—we loved reading about how Answers has affected each of you. Check out the inspiring response we selected as the Best Answer.
Cheers,
