I was totally thinking of writing this post over the last week... I think the Linked in VS. Yahoo Answers question is an important one that should be fully developed: Linked in Advantages: a) Expert advice b) Ability to connect for networking, affiliation, and perhaps sales. I think its fun when folks ask non-traditional questions related to life, faith, and culture--just to spice up the conversation. Yahoo Answers Advantages: a) Offers some degree of advice--but the quality and connection level are not comparable (9 vs. 7 level of quality) b) Ability to link build (drop your links as answers) c) Shows up higher in Google (which has advantages for the Answerer) Second Issue: Yahoo Answers Vs. Niche Forum Questions: I think that for Asking questions that niche forums (if you know the best game in town) especially in the social media, blogging, and seo space would generally have all the advantages of Yahoo Answers. Answering questions in Yahoo may work--if your target audience is regular folks and you are outsourcing. Answering questions in niche forums may demonstrate your expertise to industry experts--if you're looking to get hired. At the end of the day, its probably easier to impress those outside the industry, however. I hope all that makes sense...I need to get some sleep. Cheers, Nathan Chris,

Its not fair. I was totally thinking of writing this post over the last week…
