Yahoo! Philippines Answers blog

We have been listening to your feedback and have been working hard this summer to keep improving Answers.  Check out these new stuff in Answers that I’m sure will make asking and answering a better experience for all of us.  One of the updates that was just implemented and you may have noticed already is that we changed the Ask and Answer pages to incorporate tips to help you get the most out of Answers.

Now, when you ask or answer a question, you will see a yellow speech bubble giving you some tips:

If there is any spelling mistake (I’m sure this happens to all of us, we all type too fast sometimes), you will be warned and, with help of the Spell Checker, be able to correct all mistakes.

Ignore, Change and click Done when ready.  This will make your questions and answers look better (and by that I mean readable, hehehe).

We will also warn you if your caps lock is on… you know, in the Internet world, writing in capitals is often perceived as shouting and regarded as bad netiquette.

For the experts amongst you who feel as though you don’t need any help, don’t worry because if you think the tips will just annoy you they can easily be closed.  You only need to click on the “x” on the top right of the speech bubble and they are gone.

These are just a few of the tips we have for you.  So what do you think?  Check it out now and go see for yourself!  Don’t forget to leave a comment and share to me and everyone else your thoughts on these updates.
