by Ujwal Tickoo on March 13th, 2007

Yahoo! Answers is now Beta Testing a Social Networking feature that allows users to build a personal network of "Contacts".  It is now possible for users to add other Y! Answers users on their profile page who

• have similar interests & passions, or
• mark interesting Questions & Answers, or
• offer good answers etc.

Thus, in one swoop Yahoo! Answers is now a social networking site with the scale of MySpace and Facebook.

  The Yahoo! Answers Network will help people access the questions & answers relevant to them; through other users who have similar interests. There are approximately 90 million users of Yahoo! Answers — a large community to tap into!
