How is Yahoo Answers different from Facebook, Twitter and other social sites?

[P]

Firstly I dont see it as a competition, although I can see that points for answers can make it that way for some. Also there are the censorship issues, although you might wonder if you play in male health. Others are interesting to follow because they broaden my outlook by visiting sections I would never dream of, they act unknowingly as my filter. I know not everyone appreciates my sense of humour, my imagination, my more flippant quips. But I do enjoy seeing through your eyes, hearing you views, and, not least, learning from you all. So there is also a thoughtful serious side. Straight Q&A I find a little sterile, there is much I would love to share with some who earn respect, but not here. It becomes another intellectual challenge. There are always the little gems which creep through to make life interesting. After all, social or not, isnt what we see here a real living philosophical exchange?
