Yahoo! Answers is a great place to ask any questions.
I mean why can’t Hilary Clinton? Just nothing special.. She is a human, ok.

Hello there,

I found a NEW cool site which is similar to Google Answers and Yahoo Answers, but a lot more professional.

They are search assistants and seem to search complicated information on the web for users of this site. It

is called WeSearchIt4U.com.

If you cannot find information yourself or do not have time for it, you can post your search query on this

website, for example to find sites with certain information, specific data in articles, certain software

etc.

Within a maximum of 2 days, but most of the times the next day, you will have your reply. It costs only US$ 30

and for that amount they can spent up to 12 hours of surfing.
And the cool thing is, you do not have to pay in advance, but only if your are satisfied.
That is a lot different from the others !!

They are in a free trial, so lets try it folks !

[...] Fakat İnternet’in yararını ve İnternet’in toplumların düşünce yapısını değiştirdiğini anlayan ülkeler yalnızca Hindistan, Mozambik, Singapur değil. Gelişmiş olan ülkelerde de birçok inanılmaz örnekler var (Kaplan Kore yazımı okuyabilirsiniz). En son okuduğum ve beni etkileyen örnek ise ABD’den. 2008 Başkanlık yarışına katılacağını açıklayan ve belki de ABD’nin yeni başkanı olacak bir kişi, her şeyi bildiğini, her türlü plana sahip olduğunu söylemiyor. Aksine, İnternet’i bir araç olarak kullanıp, vatandaşlarından yardım istiyor bazı konularda. İşte Hillary Clinton‘un, Yahoo Answer sitesine gönderdiği, kendisini milyonlarca insanın kullandığı İnternet’ten soyutlamadığını kanıtlayan ve İnternet kullanıcılarının bilgisine güvendiğini gösteren çok Web 2.0 bir soru: “Kendi aile deneyimlerinize dayanarak cevaplarsanız, sizce Amerika’daki sağlık sistemi nasıl iyileştirilebilir?” (kaynak: Bokardo) [...]

[...] 2. Yahoo! Answers - A wildly successful service, Yahoo! launched this in 2005 in answer to Google Answers (payment required) and saw its popularity quickly rise. Online marketers can leverage this tool by answering questions that relate to their own business and, at times, offer links to their own website as long as they are relevant. The Yahoo! Answers system rewards points for those users who are either ‘extra’ helpful and answer a lot of questions, or are asking questions and then managing them. Even Hilary Clinton uses Yahoo! Answers.

Her most recent views on creating a seven point plan to reduce healthcare costs by some $120 billion, is going to be interesting. Only time will tell if this - whether Marketing or not - strategy works for her.

Another great blog on the topic, written by Jon Barron, can be viewed at:

I agree with Delta, it’s a PR move.
Hilary’s team is doing good job.

“Based on your own family’s experience, what do you think we should do to improve health care in America?”
This is an absurd place to ask such a question.
Should I also ask for a second opinion there before I have brain surgery?
This is a forum of posers that are mostly good at one thing, typing. This is not to say that qualified persons do not answer questions there (they rarely are picked, rather they are usually flamed), but the whole format rewards those with too much time on their hands to type out advice they are not qualified to give and get picked best answer by voters or askers. The worst feature is the top contributer feature which assures even more bad advice will get picked “best”

It’s a PR move, and a smart one at that. It’s no different than politicians posting videos to youtube, its a great promotional move and a means of demonstrating to the public that their opinion counts, though not particularly effective at hearing everyone out. I sent an email to a senator in my area that supported net neutrality, asking him to reconsider his stance. I got a canned response via email weeks later. I have little faith in what anyone is going to do with the responses on Yahoo answers, but we’re going to see more politicians going this route (still waiting for Barack or Hillary to get that Myspace page).

[...] Two days ago, Hilary Clinton posted a question to Yahoo Answers: “Based on your own family’s experience, what do you think we should do to improve health care in America?” This is amazing on several levels. One, Clinton is actually asking the American people what they think, rather than assuming or generalizing from the party she’s […] Read more… [...]

Answer: Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution.

Hillary Clinton has no authority to do anything about healthcare in the United States. It is forbidden by law.

[...] Hilary Clinton Uses Yahoo Answers (Bokardo) I’m embarrassed to admit that Hilary (or her PR crew) thought of using Yahoo Answers as a research tool before I did. Meanwhile, fancy asking real people what they think about policy. What a novelty. Hoorah! (tags: SocialNetworks user-research politics Yahoo) [...]
