Diversions: Yahoo! Answers

I've been an active participant in Yahoo! Answers for a couple of months now, and figured I'd talk a little bit about it here.

In short, Y!A is a place where you can ask a question about, well, anything and everything. You can also post answers to questions that other folks have asked, and you can contribute by voting for the "best answer".

Most of my time on the site is spent in the "Travel" section. Plenty of folks asking about hotels & wanting recommendations, etc., so I'm more than happy to do a bit of research over at Resideo.

We've actually gotten at least one booking thru the site (possibly more), so that's a pretty good feeling.

Anywho, if you have the chance, head on over and start participating!

Site feature spotlight: Store & Share!

Howdy folks! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, we've been staying busy, as always.

It's time for another "feature spotlight" -- this time around, we'll focus on the new "store & share" features available on the site.

Each set of text, whether it's property overview text, a review or a discussion board post, can be stored and/or shared. Click the "Add This" image found below every article and you'll see a popup window which will allow you to store the text on your favorite bookmark site, or share with your friends on your favorite social networking site.

So, if you want to save a review to look at later, click the link & choose del.icio.us or one of the others. If you want to share a particular entry with the world, choose digg or one of the many other social networking sites.

Have fun, and spread the word!
