I see myself hanging around too much around video sharing websites these days Looking at the abundance of such services rolling every week there is no doubt online video and broadcasting is on the big BOOM. For generic web enthusiasts like you and me it means nothing but good. I am quite sure that in less then 6 month, I can put a RIP sign on my TV and let it bury in dust, and upgrade from 24″ to 30″ monitor. Maaaan, this obsession with screens is not healthy.
We have already reviewed bunch of google services but only 2 services from Yahoo, so it is a right time for Yahoo Answers, one more application with 100% user generated content.
Yahoo Answers is a place where you can ask and answer questions. And unlike many other similar services and forums, things happen extremely fast here. Most of the questions receive multiple replies within a one day of posting. It is like free consulting service.
This is something fun and rather unusual. Yahoo has lauched a Yahoo time capsule. This time capsule will run for 30 days (from Oct. 10 untill Nov 8 ) accumulate data and then saved for the future generations. People in the future will be able to see what was it like in year 2006 through images, writings, audio files, videos and drawings which are currently submited by users.
You can go and drop there allmost anything you feel like. There is no word about when the capsule will be revealed to the world but something like letter to your children or grandchildren can be fun. I am thinking of dropping a screenshot of makeuseof’s index page.
