Google is easy to use and it usually provides on topic responses.\n\nIf it wasn't for google I wouldn't know where the internet begins (it's not like i'm going to type in a random URL)

yes there was a google alternative, where a professional body of people in all fields will answer your question within a specified time period for a certain fee. The difference I guess between this free service and the professional paid service is that the paid service they guarantee to be factually correct whereas you may go by hearsay on other free services.

I use Yahoo a lot but prefer google.  I find they have better results and you can't beat google maps, especially the satalite images.

Because Google has a better search algorithm.

Yahoo Answers seems to have more questions asked daily. You normally get a turover of new questions every five minutes, A check of Google answers shows a turnover of 25 questions over five or so hours. On the other hand, Google Answers requires people to pay people who answer their questions. Google Answers is three years old but it has never been properly promoted.

Gooogle! it has always been in top. However the differences between Yahoo! and Google are becoming less. I mean Yahoo! is kool, but when it comes to searching, i prefer Google.

You should use whatever suites you best. As you said, Google Answers costs money, so you get expert advice, but you have to pay. Yahoo! Answers, on the other hand, has many different answerers to questions, so you get a variety of knowledge and experience (for free). Although, Yahoo! Answers is free, you don't necessarily get lower quality answer. Even though there might be some lower quality answers, many people actually know the answer to your question and can answer it.\n\nIf you have a (serious) question and want to get a serious answer (and pay for it), use Google Answers. Otherwise, use Yahoo! Answers.

Uptill now, Yahoo was best but recent introduction of Google Earth and Google Talk by Google has brought the Google ahead in the race. Although, this one, I mean, Yahoo! Answers may be a something new on Yahoo part but it is not expected to reveal such results as Google Earth has resulted in. Morover, with the introduction of more an more features in Yahoo Messenger, it has become less and less reliable so that it sometimes shows you online even if you are not really. So, as of now, I rate Google as better than Yahoo.

You can anticipate the quality of both the questions and the answers improving over time; partly as the "novelty" factor wears off and partly as people who aren't earning points get bored from the lack of positive feedback and go away.  At some point the "search" function of the site should become more useful than the "ask" function.  (At least, this is how I think Yahoo expects it to go.)

Yahoo! works better than any other service of it type for me when doing general work/searches. While I use other services including Goggle and MSN, I have the least problems with Yahoo! (and Goggle which runs on top of Yahoo!)...\n\n\nBTW consider yourself luck, when I started teaching the Internet at an adult ed level in '93 there wasn't any search engine that worked  with any reliability... and anything like Y!Answers was only done via text on the Usenet... no voting... no way of searching for answers without reading thru sometimes hundreds of posts... oh and did I mention that being in an academic setting we we had a single ISDN line feeding 30 student and 10 facilty computers but the ISP didn't have enough bandwidth to keep up with us so we frequently crashed the ISP's equipment when we weren't overheating our digital modem... Those were the days :-(

Currently I would say that yahoo is the better of the two. Only because of its familiarity and integration into other services it uses, i.e. yahoo 360, yahoo answers, flickr, etc.. gmail is more of just a web based email program with limited integration into googles other services, but that could all change.

I like the Yahoo search better than Google.  I'm a stickler for what I'm used to.  Also, the GMail thing is still in beta form, isn't it?  Lame.  Yahoo rocks!  Oh, and Google doesn't have Yahoo Answers!

I'll talk about the Google search engine. In my opinion, because:\n1-the search page has a simple and clear design (people get crazy with complicated designs)\n2-answers layout looks like answers (not much publicity)\n3-the pagerank algorythm is decently good
