Yahoo Answers

I am trying to think of a range of situations that the target audience would need to use Yahoo!Answers...for this I am looking through the most popular, recently searched answers and seeing which ones are appropriate for my target audience and how I can relate these to situations where Yahoo is the only thing to use...

Here are the range of categories that Yahoo!Answers covers

One point I found out when I was researching reasons why Yahoo (more particularly Yahoo answers) are better to use, is because a person can log on and ask questions that can sometimes be embarrassed about or just want to know the answer, without having to do this face to face. It is network of anonymous questions and answers. It takes a lot of couridge to go and have to ask a person face to face about something that you are either worried or embarrased about, but with Yahoo answers, this element is taken out of problem. This is something that is very relevant to teenagers. In many teenage magazines there is a problem and answer section where people have written in. Although there are names and ages underneath, people can chose to remain anonymous...this is the line that I am going to follow for this section. Anonymous infomration and help about questions about growing up and being a teenager; about love, relationships, health, fashion, right, wrong etc. Furthermore, it could be an answer to a school related topic, something about how to help understand a topic, theory or problem. People do not always reach out and talk to staff about not understanding, many chose to struggle alone beacuse they feel it easier...this is where Yahoo answers can also come into play.

The phrase 'teenage rebellion years'...Yahoo also has a section on family relationships...
