Don't you people know about GOOGLE?

because people want a dialogue and input from someone's personal experience. what do you think? don't you know that people don't even need GOOGLE to look something up, they can use the web browser they have, for whatever ISP.

Why would you even need to ask this? Is this a rant against questions you think are silly? It sounds like a rhetorical question, you don't seem to think that people are really unaware of google... do you think people really don't know?

sometimes people can let u see a perpective of a situation that u never considered before and now search engine can give u advice and help as well as real people. u cant exacly google search help on realtionship's and get genuine advice and help from people that have been through the situation's u experience urself as well on a search engin as u can from real people. can u? why didn't u just type : why do you feel the need to hear this information from other people when you can easily find it yourself? into google and get an answer that i just gave u there can u? if u can why did u post it here?

Maybe some of the questioners are lonely and looking for some kind of human contact, even if it's just through a keyboard and a monitor. It's a better feeling if you believe there's another human being on the other end.

And let's face it, we are social creatures, not robots.

It just seems nicer to be able to actually talk to real people out there and get answers from experienced people rather than just doing a boring, flat search on the internet. The internet isn't always reliable, but first hand experience is. (not saying that all people on Yahoo! Answers are honest and experienced...just in general)

Listen my little pretty, Im in Kansas. Yahoo is a fun community Google is like Gross and informationally boring... Give me worthless points and cyber friends.... Can can gross I mean Google do that?

Try googling being social and community benifits. See if you get any friends online from a server that will only provide information,,,

Now click your slippers 3 times and say out loud, there is no place like yahoo, there is no place like yahoo, there is no place like yahoo

If you end up in Kansas, please stop by and say hi, bring a buscuit for Toto...

Hearing of another person's experience is frequently worth more, than information you might read on a website.

o cool, i comprehend in case you google some thing like the worst mistake united states's made---orsomething like that (no longer top words) it directs you to the information superhighway web page for the white abode/pres. bush.

Yeah, all that's already been said, AND sometimes people are just too lazy to look it up for themselves. I never, ever answer questions re: homework. I already have my BA. I'm not going to earn one for someone else too :-) Folks need to learn to think for themselves.

Sometimes someone else has maybe gone through the experience and have first hand knowledge, which is better that book knowledge.

I will always take a human opinion over a pre typed/a.s.s.-umed interpretation

different backgrounds give different answers........
