Live QnA - A geeky past time?

  • Artigo

QnA I really have enjoyed playing with the Live QnA Beta. It is a playground where you can ask and answer questions. You get rated by your peers for the best answer and can search for answers to almost any question in the ever growing database.

I do find a phenomenon that is very similar to the experience of many of the teachers I've talked to. There really are dumb questions. Some of the questions are weakly posed, with no context to figure out what the asker had in mind. And there are the totally infantile questions that are doomed to become nothing more than noise.

For example, "Why doesn't InsertNameHere like me?" or "Why is SomeonesAlias so mean?" Wouldn't it be nice to weed these questions out of the database? And how about the questions that don't generate any answers. Should those remain in the database?

My profile (above) isn't a good indicator, but I really don't spend much time in the Live QnA world. I just peek in periodically.
