Download the 2009 Answers Highlights Book!

Tags: , , , ,

This year, Yahoo! Answers has seen its fair share of questions and answers—you’ve covered everything under the sun—from questions about current events such as “balloon boy” to Michael Jackson’s death to everyday questions about culture to tackling tough questions about the economy and unemployment.

We’ve gone through some of the best (and quirkiest) content on Answers to create this year’s highlight book. (Review last year’s here) This year’s e-book contains 12 questions from Answers users, just like you, that showcase some of the unique questions and answers you’ll find on Yahoo! Answers- as well as a few outstanding community members you might come across while perusing the site.

So view the book 2009 Highlights (11148) and explore some of the content found on Answers (this will prompt you to download a small PDF file).

Feeling inspired after checking out this year’s e-book and want to share your favorite question with the team? Send it our way! Shoot us an email with a link to your favorite question (and a quick note on why you selected it) to: y_answrs_favorites@yahoo.com

  1. Aw, I was hoping my question would be in it, after all, it did have 110 stars, which is 100 more than 10, and I saw a question with only 10 stars, so how is that on it, but not mine? Oh well. Guess I’ll try for next year then. =(

  3. You’ve stated twice in bold letters “download” the book,
    but it really is just a PDF file. I would choose a different
    word, because “download” might discourage some Y!A
    users from clicking on the link.

    Your small book is very entertaining indeed, like 2008′s.
    I’m curious though why the “burgundy-color link” shows
    – (114) when I first came to this blog
    – (130) after I finished reading 2008
    – (155) as I am adding my comment.
    Is this a “running” total count of how many people have
    thus far clicked on it?

  4. Only 1.27MB???

    Just like one of my earlier “starter” novels.

    Nowadays, I’m pushing 5MB+.

    Maybe 2010 will have that kind of a figure?

  5. @Steve J
    Thanks– I’ve updated one of the links.

    As for the numbers, that’s how many people have downloaded the Highlights book so far.

  7. Nice!! I loved to see a few familiar names in the testimonials you included in the first pages. I haven’t checked my 2008 file in while but I think this one shows more aspects of YA, which I like :-)

  8. I have a problem during download my attachement (NOT ACTIVE) / (NOT RESPONSE)

  9. The green & white smiley, exclamation and question marks could be more colorful or sophisticated. It makes YA image look too grade-schoolish.

    Although I really like the avators, the personalized photos are so much nicer. It’s good to include these in the next “book” which should be more condensed, by the way. Using the cartoon figure for YA (polar bear) is also a terrible color green & white. Not visually stimulating & we can do so much better!

    Thanks!

  10. Y is STILL a vowel, and that answer shouldn’t have been on the list. Well at least in the American English Language the letter Y acts as a vowel when no other vowels are contained.

  12. Hey its so upsetting, I can’t download the file. It says “The file was damaged and cannot be repaired.”
    Can someone help me out by copying this stuff, and saving it in MS-Word and then sending it to me?

    This is the link to my profile at Yahoo! Answers:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Ag5nfskNxmQVT8._.UF_bTQSxgt.;_ylv=3?show=EAZ92USuaa

    Just drop me a message and I’ll let you know my Yahoo! ID.

  16. I am not in it .. I do not care
    For all my answers – I have
    received little recognition and
    the yahoo staff is constantly
    removing my badge as top
    contributor even though I am
    number 5 on the list ….

    Bumble gets no respect

  17. I am trying to access the link to the “book” but I’m assuming my dialup is preventing me from getting to it.

    This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a Y! Answers book…

  21. No thanks.I don’t care if Michael Jackson was in somebody’s dream or how many socialist muslims are in the Democratic Party.

  22. Why do answers who just copied/pasted wikipedia get so many thumbs up?

    Comment posted on December 6th, 2009 at 11:37 am by Desi
  23. I can’t believe that after all that hard work and top answers I didn’t get an inclusion. I’m going all out for it in 2010.

  25. Aw, c’mon Yahoo!! Surely you can include more than just 12 questions/answers!!! I’d love to see a pdf of Yahoo Q’s and A’s, but with WAY more!! Want me to create it for you??

  26. That was lame :|

  27. You guys made a huge blunder! You posted a question about words without vowels and yet just about every word in the list had a vowel! Doesn’t anyone know grammar any more? I really would have thought anyone putting this “book” together would know that the vowels are A, E, I, O, U and SOMETIMES Y. Which means if the Y sounds like an I or and E it is counted as a vowel. Really Yahoo? You didn’t know that?

  42. The answer to the “egg in the bottle” question is totally wrong. You should really double check your scientific facts before including stuff like this in the “highlights” of 2009.

  43. Wow – that philosophy answer was deep. I especially liked the reference to “Schoeder’s cat”. He deserves some recognition. He made such rare appearances in the Peanuts comic strip because he was always scared away by Schoeder’s incessant piano playing and Lucy always hanging around.
