Yahoo Dominates The Web, Just Not In Search
Jul 16, 2009 at 10:22am ET by Barry Schwartz
Gigaom writes that although Yahoo is number two at search, they are still number one at so many other things. That is exactly what Carol Bartz, Yahoo's CEO, wants to communicate with the world, that Yahoo is not just a search company and does great things also outside of search.

Games (near tie)
Yahoo Answers is not mentioned here, but I believe they dominate that category, as well.
We don't often discuss Yahoo's other properties, but it is imp [...]

Mahalo Answers Launches, Offers Cash For Q&A

Oct 17, 2007 at 3:46pm ET by Barry Schwartz
Vanessa Fox had to catch a plane, so I decided to copy Tamar Weinberg's coverage from the Search Engine Roundtable.
It's the fourth session of the second day of SMX Social Media and it's all about Wikipedia.
Web users rely on community-contributed-content sites such as Wikipedia and Yahoo Answers. These sites enable you to communicate directly with an engaged audience. But contribute to the conversation with care. Too much spin and your credibility will be shot and your brand damaged. You'll come away from this session knowing how these influential sites work and how to participate construc [...]

Yahoo Adds Networking Features To Answers
Mar 8, 2007 at 12:08pm ET by Chris Sherman
Yahoo has added a social networking feature to its Answers service, allowing you to add Yahoo Answers users to your own personal collection of contacts, providing direct access to the questions they ask, answer, and star on Answers.
