Will Yahoo be selling demographic information as a result of Yahoo! Answers?
It seems to me that even though you may not be using your real yahoo ID, they can still link you to your yahoo account and whatever information you gave about yourself. With "Answers" they can track your interests, match that to your age, sex, zip code, etc.
A lot of the questions here have to do with people's opinion on products, also. So I'm wondering if Yahoo plans to sell statistical information from the questions and answers.
