Google Answers created a decent asset with very little promotion and would appear to be able to run nearly on auto-pilot. The two services are so different, it’s hard to say Yahoo “won” anything here. Even though Yahoo Answers is 99% crap, the 1% will trickle in to search results except I’m not sure if this will advantage Yahoo since Google has the same access to the content.
