I am not one for joining in phenomenons, I like objectively watching and trying to intervene occasionally for profit purposes. Mainly because the big net phenomenons usually mainly profit their originators and don’t do much apart from drain your time and slice your efficiency. Hence I have curbed my enthusiasm (good program) for facebook, counterstrike and msn. (I purposely never joined myspace!) but recently I fell into the Yahoo Answers Hole.

I say hole but it isn’t all bad. By answering questions well and being a good source of correct and helpful information you can help people and get a little credit (putting your url in source of 20 odd answers might provide 10-20 interested clicks and for search engines that ignore nofollow perhaps some serp climbing.) But it does help people which in cosmic karma isn’t bad, just not financially a great producer. While things are quiet though its a positive step.

It is providing yahoo with free content essentially which I don’t sponsor, but with the communication aspect it draws you in. Networking becomes notworking! There’s numerous equivalent sites out there, that really I would recommend you avoid if your of an addictive nature but want to progress in business, however objective attention towards them, as they are part of the modern business climate is essential.

Having said that if you want to add me as a friend heres my profile…lol god damn viral concepts.
