		<description>I've been using this service for about a week now and I have to say I am pretty disappointed by the immaturity level with the users there.  I have achieved level 2 almost exclusively by answering what I feel are legitimate questions in the Computer category, but I find that I am spending more time reporting abusers than answering questions.

Every time I log into their website I find at least one repeat question; one of the most common--"What is Web 2.0"?  There are also the blatent farming of points such as "What is 2 pluss 2?" (yes, that's an exact quote, including the mispelling of plus).  I see this service doomed for failure by the people who view it as more of a game (I can get a higher level than you can!) than a resource.</description>

I have achieved level 2 almost exclusively by answering what I feel are legitimate questions in the Computer category, but I find that I am spending more time reporting abusers than answering questions.</p>
<p>Every time I log into their website I find at least one repeat question; one of the most common&#8211;&#8221;What is Web 2.0&#8243;?  There are also the blatent farming of points such as &#8220;What is 2 pluss 2?&#8221; (yes, that&#8217;s an exact quote, including the mispelling of plus).  I see this service doomed for failure by the people who view it as more of a game (I can get a higher level than you can!) than a resource.</p>

		<description>[...] Of course it seems to me that tagging is merely the use of multiple categories, and others seem to agree with this definition. Yet this small tweak, coupled with the personalized and social factors of Web 2.0 products, creates a level of functionality that nigh eliminates the difficulties of accommodating the preconcieved notions of website/software creators, and the frustration that inevitably comes along with it. This helps mimic the &#8216;mental map&#8217; within people&#8217;s minds, and allows information to be organized more &#8216;organically&#8217; (the underlying principle of all such &#8216;Social&#8217; tools). The internet has forever had too-much information rather than too-little. Without ways of easily accessing that information, its functionality is drastically reduced. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Und weil das noch nicht genug ist, hat Yahoo! auch noch Yahoo! Answers gestartet. Man kann dort eine Frage stellen und die User beantworten sie. Die QualitÃ¤t der Antworten wird wiederum von den Usern bewertet. Im Gegensatz zu Google Answers ist der Yahoo!-Dienst kostenlos und insgesamt ein wenig cooler, da hier deutlich mehr Web 2.0 drin steckt, zum Beispiel RSS-Feeds. Seltsam ist, dass Yahoo! auf Tagging verzichtet, obwohl man dank Flickr das Know-how dazu im Haus hÃ¤tte (Danke fÃ¼r den Hinweis an TechCrunch). [...]</description>
