Do you find it faster to post a question in yahoo than just going to a search

engine and finding it out? Let me rephrase that, yes it is easier to post a question, but do you get the answer faster than just finding it out through the web?

It's just a matter of knowing what words to put on the search engine.

I find it faster this way if you are looking for something a little less mainstream, and it's tailored specifically for you.

I've thought about this, too. It's obviously faster to get an answer by just typing your 1 line question into google. The problem with doing that, though, is that you don't get rewarded with points and get to advance in levels!!!! We all like to get a gold star every once in a while!

I prefer search engines if it's an exact answer I'm looking for. Now, if I'm looking for opinions or an answer I can't find, obviously Yahoo Answers will be the place to go.

For instance, I couldn't figure out whether I was having night terrors or what, come to find out thanks to someone on YA, I looked into Sleep Paralysis and it fit like a glove.

I prefer the search engines. There are people on this site that deliberately post wrong answers.
