Two months after launching the beta version of Yahoo Answers, Yahoo has announced the addition of quite a few new features to the service. In a post on the Yahoo blog yesterday, the team outlined some of those new Yahoo Answers features.
New features include:
Yeah, What You Said
This one looks at the question that you've typed in and works to provide a list of similar questions that have already been asked. The idea is that these options might help a user tailor their question more carefully so that they'll find a better answer.
Users Helping Users
This feature focuses on gathering tips and feedback from Yahoo Answers users so that new users can better learn how to use the system.
Showing What You Know
This feature allows users to create a special badge that they can display on their own site to give quick links to answers that they've provided on the system. They've also added RSS feeds so that bloggers and site owners can easily pull in relevant content.
