Yahoo Manages to Win at Something - Google Answers is Dead
Well, I think a most of us saw this coming…Google Answers, the pay for an answer service, is officially dead. It was an interesting idea – and it’s even more interesting that Yahoo’s more social approach to finding answers has done so well.
You should check out the post on the Google Blog about the decision to kill the program…and enjoy the example questions that are listed. I especially enjoy “How many tyrannosaurs in a gallon of gasoline?”
On an unrelated note, I really liked this video posted over on Yahoo! The interviewer, Dave Hill, cracks me up…
Also, enjoy Yellow...

Thanks Andy. Those number really illustrate the success of Yahoo's approach and the failure of Google's. Great stuff.
