Did you know Answers outsources our questions to other websites?

I was messing about with Google searches, and I decided to search for my Yahoo ID. Along with loads of websites that I remember posting to and joining and stuff like that, I found a link to a wedding forum.

I've never been a part of a wedding forum so it struck me as odd that I was listed as a 'junior member' of one. So I clicked the link to the wedding forum, and there it was.

One of my questions from many months ago, relating to the R&S weddings we often have in here.

Equally disturbing, I dug a bit deeper and found some of our bran muffin joke questions posted up in cookery sites. lol.

Try it out, see what you can dig up.

WWJD? - Who Wants Jack Daniels?

Update:

We R&S'ers are famous in other ways too.

    they should hand our questions/answers on to the government. especialy the Barack Obama ones.

    I'm always afraid I'll find one of my malformed rants on Fundies Say the Dumbest things.

    Yes isn't it great, that is why you should not put any personal things on here and you should not offer anything about yourself. Surely there are eyeballs all over the world looking.

    As for Justice League, I am very pleased they are doing that, surely there is a reason for all that, you all need to understand that the TV and radio is governed by censorship, yet this place is not. Only reports. If no one reports it then its there for eternity as long as there is power in the world they will be able to read it. Unless you print off a hard copy.

    Wonder what else they are gathering huh? LOL Wonderful the Lord has the biggest book indeed and its all written Amin!

  • I did not know that Yahoo did that until the other day when I was searching for an answer to a question using Google and a Yahoo Answers answer came up in google. I thought it was quite bizarre! I do not know if I want all of my comments out there...but this is the internet and I really never had any expectation of privacy anyway, so I guess it is okay.

    Luck Bunny, Yes I knew Answers outsources our questions to other websites.

    I did a little google search and found out I am also "a Kentucky girl looking for a duet partner. I'm very country, some say I sound like Taylor Swift. "

    Obviously, this is not me, I can't carry a tune in a bucket! :)

    Well that is pretty low. Makes me glad that I didn't type in personal info.

    I typed my user id in to a google search, and the only things that pop up are Natalie Merchant references. Huh, I guess I shouldn't have chosen my uderid whilst listening to her TigerLily cd.

  • Interesting.

    I've found some too, but ther is usually a link to Yahoo! answers. Sites are fighting for 'customers', presumably to attract more advertisers.

    Wow. I'm on a site called I-trader. It seems a bit low of Yahoo to do this, without our permission.

    Perhaps we can all supply some misinformation.
