Do we need a Category just for Social Media? - QueryJ - 10-13-2012 03:08 PM
Does Yahoo Answers need a social media category? What do you think?
I asked questions about social media and people seemed interested, but had to ask in many categories. I only asked about texting.... but what about social media use to find a job, connect in business, etc., connect in education, etc.. There are many interesting questions..
-Why do people text? Do you know why?
According to a recent news story texting while driving still continues, so a hands free device has been created to make it "safer." They ask the question: Why do people text? Do you have an answer?

Here are their responses:
Safety: hands free texting not useful, most people are dodging a response, it's easier to text, texting keeps you from interrupting other people, people are lonely
Consumer Electronics: fun, fast, convenient quick answers
Family: confusing and unsafe, no one wants to communicate anymore, privacy, unsafe while driving
Culture: Lack of judgment, don't want to hear the reaction, it's a trend, texting lets you say things you wouldn't say outloud (???) it's just fun

We do Need More Catagorys But Seprate Tho because if we put it in one catagory all togather it would be hard to get answers towards one network
