Geee...Since Yahoo has Yahoo! Answer, why can't Google make one as well. Something whereby we can join and have discussion to share opinion. We can use it to promote our website. Google Answer??

I'm not sure about that. They already have google group. So, i don't think they will create something like that. Yahoo will laugh and said that they copy Yahoo idea. Hoho..

If you have time, you can email Google and ask them about your idea. Who know they interested with that.

Dont know wether they have a discussion group or Q&A similar to Yahoo but i think there is something called Answer.com is probably owned by Google. Its a online dictanory or encyclopedia something similar to wikipedia which has all the answers to any uestions in the world

Wow, it's good to hear your suggestion. I'll definitely check it out on this and it looks true that it has it's own QnA section.

Hope to hear some comments about it too incase if you check it and find it intresting. I havent used it much may be once or twice.

I just came across it while googling some things and discovered that it seemed to be owned by google.

It seems funny that google havent tried something along the lines (apart from groups) as YQ&A, but the main problem is that if they do they could find the following happening:

1. Users loosing interest in google because they just steal ideas
2. A lawsuit
3. A small monkey attacks them with a spork
4. No one uses it due to lack of originality

Maybe it's because google is focus on the search engine business. We know that google adwords had bring a big profit.

Massive profit for Google, a tiny % for all users of Adsense, sorry for the dig but its so true! lol. Its hard to find a fairly paid one, would love to set one up myself

Geee.... I always believe one thing. It doesn't matter whether the ideas originally come from you or not and as long there's no patent breach, there's a right to use it. So long that you can work and prove to make it better. That way fair competition. Not like Microsoft monopoly on windows where they can dictate their own terms.

Massive profits for Google, of course. Not many users of Adsense could be so lucky. But another Google employee become a millionaire every year ( well, that's what they said in Oprah

)

I must admit I do hate google but I respect the company at the same time as they have been going for some time now and they came from nothing in the start, just a simple SE

hwang · #12 (**permalink**) 02-27-2008, 12:02 PM

Well at least what we can see from google is that they use legitimate ways until they become what they are today. It's far better compared to Microsoft whereby competitors were suppressed until they are out of competition. Remember, at one time IE was offered FOC after they found out that Netscape is developing?
