Why Yahoo Answers doesn't receive the same media attention as other social media sites?

Everybody are talking about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and other social networking sites but what about Yahoo Answers which in many ways bigger than some?

Yahoo been around too long. It's not the 90's anymore.

This is how I think of it. On Y! Answers, no one really REALLY knows anyone. Also.... Not to be rude, but 99% of the questions on here can be answered if people just learned how to use Google...

it's a question/answer site, not really the same as sites like Facebook or Twitter

Because this really isn't a social media site like the others are. I've read many questions and answers, but I don't have any sense of who the other writers are. Sometimes I can't even tell if they're a man or a woman. So although a lot of information and advice is exchanged here, there's almost nothing in the way of actual conversation.
