I’m a busy guy (hence the lack of updates recently). I don’t have a lot of time for recreational browsing - my time is spent writing/emailing or researching.Just this week I found a site that totally sucked me in. It was the first time in recent memory I had burned precious time on just about nothing.
What was the site? Yahoo! Answers. I had a gas answering, reading and answering questions. There has been lots of talk about how Yahoo! is putting the human back in the Internet, and I can see it working. I answered a few questions about software I was familiar with and got a question answered about some auto maintenance. Try it out, it’s a fabulous example of the value of a “live”, interactive web. The only question you won’t find the answer to is, “where did my afternoon go?”
