Pardon me if I am a bit cynical about this answers community thing. It sure does build community, but how relevent? And is it really a serious community? With portals adding features to try and make users come back again and again, and actively participate, they seem to foster a lot of junk.
Here is an example from Yahoo Answers:
Somebody asked a question: "How much money exists in the world?"
I would imagine it to get some serious responses. But just in the first six minutes it got seven answers, and some of them are below:
"It's an infinite number"
"just a little more than i have"
"Ask Bill Gates and Ruppert Murdoch. They've got most of it."
"no, but i need more of it"
etc...
It seems people are out there just to generate activity!
