Con Very low quality of answers
Highly unreliable answers - often the answer doesn't even properly address the question.
Con Yahoo! account required
Both asking and answering questions require a Yahoo! account.
Con Single answer picked randomly as "Best answer"
The window to answer question - and to rate answers - is very short, the website will just close the question and designate a "best answer'" randomly.
