Tutorial six is focussing on an online community. I have chosen to look at yahoo answers.
Website address: http://www.yahoo.com
This is a website that anybody can join and ask questions they want answers for about anything. Other members of the website are able to read the questions being posted and answer them.
The website is very interactive as it is all about people communicating together to find answers to things they are unsure about. People can contribute to any questions they want and are able to post questions up themselves. People can also get awarded credit for how good their answers are and whether people find their answer useful.
People choose to contribute for many reasons, the need to find any answers they want on a particular issue or question. Also to use their knowledge to help answer other peoples questions on other topics.
There are topics on everything that are discussed on this online website. Some of them are questions such as:
"Should I get an xbox 360 elite or a playstation 3?"
"What are the easiest and hardest languages to learn?"
Ethical Issues
Ethical issues may include information about the person on their profile being exposed to other members of the website.
Benefits
Being able to find answers to any questions that could be hard to find answers for elsewhere. Having a range of opinions and advice from other people to get information from them if you are unsure about a particular topic.
