Are Yahoo! executives happy when they see people answering "Try Google help" in here?
Answer:
I doubt the Yahoo Exec's are too deep into Yahoo Answers. There are probably Yahoo employees monitoring it. But, I think there's two things that can be taken away from those answers that suggest someone Google the answer:
a) "Google it" has become slang for search the Internet. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to use the Google search engine, but because the name is included, chances are they will. But, the lesson for Yahoo is how do they become a common everyday slang.
b) To see the percentage of those who refer to Google versus Yahoo as a preferred search engine could be free survey data from which they can improve their image/product.
I doubt that they care. Yahoo is way too big, and way too rich, to care about little petty stuff like that.
No they are not happy. If you spell check google it'll try to turn it into something else. That aside I occasionally tell people to google something. I am not here to be someone's reasercher. If it's something that can be easily found with a search engine they can do it themselves. I am here to help people with what I already know and to learn new things from others. This question site is supposed to be for that purpose not to help lazy people avoid pressing a few buttons.
yes they are
