What do you feel is the real purpose of having contacts?

    When you look at it.. you can add contacts, message them, follow their questions and answers, give them thumbs up, star their questions...

    Some may see them as just a way to answer and have others answer and star.. but many of us see those contacts as a lot more.

    Yahoo added the personal touches, yet expects us to believe we aren't supposed to be social.

    The real purpose of contacts will depend on each person's view of the whole set up.. I believe it goes beyond questions and answers.. we get to know people, learn from them.. not just in questions and answers.. through messages.

    Many things I won't even discuss on this site anymore.. I will in messages because it's a whole lot nicer without the haters and stalkers.

    I don't know for others but for me,I just want to have a good relationship

    with several people and by that I mean having a real friend :)

    I don't randomly add people and then keep the list full

    Overall, the contacts are a support network to help asking and answering questions.

    We all need a little help from our friends.

    To me it's pretty much a social network although as the

    other answerer has said Yahoo doesn't see it that way

    For me, it is the sheer pleasure of reading the Qs & As of these individuals and to answer their Qs.
