Yahoo Answers is a web site that was created with the idea of helping people find answers to their questions. While most of the time this is the case, Yahoo Answers has been turning more and more into a Right-Wing Propaganda site. Where questions about freedom issues like Gay Marriage and Atheism are met with ignorant, mean comments and Pro-Republican ideas. Yahoo claims the site is "Moderated By The Users" but there has been complaints that questions that met all the guidelines, were deleted, with many suspecting it was because a Yahoo Employee didn't (Personally) like the question. This can be seen by making 2 different accounts and posting different questions that fall into a Conservative or Liberal mindset. Conservative questions and comments are often times left up on the site, even when they include offensive words like "Fag". While Liberal points of view are deleted, without a reason by Yahoo. Many Christian's use Yahoo Answers as a tool to spread their faith and views. Many questions, not even related to God, are met with answers that read like Religious Propaganda; IE: "Your leg hurts because God loves you and this pain will heal you! God Bless!" Criticism for Republican politicians, will be met with Republican users reporting these users to Yahoo; where Yahoo will just remove the comment and give that user a "Violations Notice". Yahoo claims Violations Notice can be disputed, but Yahoo rarely, if ever, replies back to the emails. MANY former Yahoo Answer users have reported that their accounts have been deleted, citing the reasons above. Considering Yahoo awards a point system to encourage more participation, a user with several thousand points who ends up having their account suspended, is put through a lot of undo stress. Seeing as it can take several months to a year to reach these point levels.
A guy asked if Gay Marriage was the reason for the flooding in the USA. If that God was punishing us. When I called his comments ignorant and that he was acting like a bigot; I received a Violations Notice. Even though his question remained up. Yeah, real fair..... Just another day on Yahoo Propaganda Answers !

Formally Konfabulator, it runs what are called Widgets, which are created by ordinary people using fancy JavaScript, Photoshop, GIMP, and the like. There currently 3,000 widgets out now, give or take a few 100. It has everything, including a Homeland Security terrorist threat level chart, so I can see how likely I am to die today. It also takes up rediculessly LOW processor power, especially if it's in the Heads-Up-Display. I can even access UD without having to open to a browser! Lazy!
If any Yahoo! Widget Engine users check this out, go ahead and post your tweeked-out desktops. To make a screenshot...

An extension of the already banal Yahoo! chat rooms, Yahoo! Voice Chat allows people to communicate vocally through their chat room channels. It's an exercise of the worse possible use of the internet as people use it only to continually insult each other in supposed contests of intelligence, wit, and attitude. It also allows users to throw racial epithets and other crude jabs from the safety of thier homes were they can remain anonymous and free of any sort of judgement.

A juvenile loser with nothing else to do but to run into a gas station and grab a bunch of stuff, then run out the door screaming Yahoo! The person behind the counter then screams out Hey you! in an attempt to call you back into the store

"PULL A YAHOO!" = To create a lot of hype around something--really build it up (like Yahoo! Photos and Yahoo! 360), get large amounts of people interested, even "hooked", then close up shop, runaway, then hide behind legal rhetoric all the while still building themselves up to be hip, new, wonderful, fresh...
Sentence: "Gregory put tons of photos on Yahoo! Photos and a lot of time and energy into "Yahoo! 360. Yahoo shut both down. After moving to other sites, I fear that my new web services might "Pull a Yahoo!" and do the same thing as Yahoo!"
"I sure hope Multiply.com don't pull a Yahoo!"
"I sure hope Multiply.com don't pull a Yahoo!"
