Because it's a Yahoo! product.  Never use anything Yahoo! asks you to download.  Stick with their almost-useful web services.

This is what yahoo says about it.\n\nYahoo! Answers is an online community in which participants can ask and answer questions on a wide range of topics, from the serious to the irresistibly trivial.

Yahoo intended this site to be a resource for people to ask and answer questions based upon experience. It was expected that it would add a human element that is lacking in most pat textual sources.\n\nUnfortunately, many people are treating this as a chat room and ask questions that either need no answer or do not deserve one. The only real recourse of people is the inane, sarcastic answer.

(Yahoo! Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.yahoo.com) The largest and most comprehensive information portal on the Web. Along with Web search, news, sports and weather, Yahoo! offers e-mail, instant messaging, travel, auctions, classified ads, discussion groups, Web hosting and numerous other services.\n\n\nIt Began with Search\n\nWhen it launched in 1995, Yahoo! was the first Web search site to gain worldwide attention. It distinguished itself in the early days because it created its indexes manually. Instead of sending out automated spiders that roamed the Web and indexed everything in sight, indexing specialists decided what categories a Web page fit in. As a result, Yahoo! called itself a "directory," rather than just a search engine. Today, Yahoo! also uses spiders because the Web has grown too large to handle entirely by hand.\n\n\nA Student Hobby\n\nIn 1994, Stanford Ph.D candidates Jerry Yang and David Filo began indexing interesting Web sites as a hobby. "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" turned into Yahoo!, meaning "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle!" A very successful IPO followed in 1996, and within a few years, Yahoo! became a major global brand with offices around the world.

Because the people (David Filo and Jerry Yang) who started Yahoo liked the name "Yahoo." Below is an excerpt from the history article:\n\nThe name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth."\n\nHere is the full history of Yahoo . . . David Filo and Jerry Yang’s hobby project that is now a huge multinational corporation:\n\nhttp://docs.yahoo.com/info/misc/history.html

You may not realize you are not dealing with Yahoo here.\n\nThis is a forum that is like a bulletin board of questions and answers but nobody directly involved with Yahoo answers these questions.

For what?  Programming? Gaming?  Surfing the Net?  Video Editing?  Graphic Design?  What do you know?  nothing about any of them? Expert in one?  I know Yahoo sucks and only allows you to enter 110 characters, but you've hardly got 25 - why not provide a little context.\n\nPut simply, get what you know.  Or get what you want to learn.  Or tell us what you'll do and maybe better advice will be forthcoming.
