Why do people use this site when Google exists?

Answer 1

Many times when you search on Google, WikiAnswers comes up first, or at least on the first page. Google is cool, but this site is a great place to take "short cuts" to an answer. WikiAnswers has lots of information that isn't "included" within lengthy articles or a lot of technical information. You can often just "cut to the chase" and find what you need. In addition, you can ask direct questions directly, and often get direct answers that will help you solve problems. Certainly the self-help and relationship sections are full of helpful information from people who've been down that path. And a lot of scientific information is "interpreted" from geek-speak to "English" so you can get a handle on your math, chemistry, Biology, physics or other homework. Google is great, but so is WikiAnswers.
