Hey Jenny and brfe,
Yahoo! Answers (as a part of oneSearch) is in fact optimized for iPhone

iPhone users,
go to http://m.yahoo.com and search something.
At the search result page, scroll down and chose “Yahoo! Answers” from All Results!

It’s great to see big ventures going forward on the mobile internet.
Google with its adwords, Yahoo with its answers and next storexperience.com with the local mobile shopping (ok they’re not a big venture yet!).

This will help to find valuable reasons to restart wifi & wimax public access!

@15 - Fake Steve Ballmer: If they said FreeBSD or Mac OS X then they got it right. I just got a PC and before it could boot into vista I installed FreeBSD on it. It is my new to be firewall

Good for Yahoo! For as much as I like Google, I like Yahoo! as well. They have just falling a little behind and have lost some of their sea legs. I hope they come back and offer some good products to compete with Google, Amazon, eBay and the rest.

With Yahoo answers taking the big portion of the pie, what is left for the likes of all topic questions and answers sites? ie sites, like answerbag.com , funadvice.com and of course WikiAnswers.

Over at PayScroll Career QnA, http://www.payscroll.com/qna, we certainly hope to build a niche community around the career community.

I find it funny that there are small niches trying to operate (and shill, #10 and #6) in a space that Yahoo! is clearly dominating, and will dominate moving forward.

I find it funny that projects like this, which rely on the input from the public, use the no-follow tag on answers.

Alison, nice promo for Answers.com

You guys have done well with Faqfarm by converting it into a very solid asset for Answers.com, as without it, you lacked proprietary content.

When faqfarm sold to you guys (what, late last year?) it was smaller than FunAdvice is today…$2 million dollars certainly helps to speed growth. I think the money was well spent.

Now, if anybody reading this wants to buy FunAdvice, I’ll even give you a small discount over the Faqfarm sell price to Answers.com

I think this is great! I usually think of questions to lookup on Yahoo! Answers when I’m *not* at my desk. I’m looking forward to it going live.

WikiAnswers, an Answers.com property, also reported a 50% increase in traffic - http://ir.answers.com/released.....eID=263490, and has 1836 community-grown topics and 293,070 free members working on 807,022 questions. Earlier this summer Comscore ranked Answers.com’s WikiAnswers second only to Yahoo Answers - see http://ir.answers.com/released.....eID=251027) A big factor in the quality of the answers on WikiAnswers is the involvement of the 100+ moderators/subject matter experts who are committed to being what Answers.com calls “Supervisors” on the site.

I agree, I would like to see a clean iPhone version. Just integrating it into the onesearch results is pretty lame so far.
