Yahoo! Answers "is a place where people ask each other questions on any topic, and get answers by sharing facts, opinions, and personal experiences."
The unique thing about Yahoo! Answers, is that the community provides you with feedback and answers to your question. Questions are also organized by topic, so it's easy to find the best category for your question.
This new service (currently in Beta form) is designed to be a very interactive and collaborative community. And as such, you can choose to have the community vote on the best response to your question, or you can select what you feel is the best answer.
Since student privacy rules all web-based educational activity, it would be nice to be able to pose a question to a private group (such as your students) and then solicit feedback. Perhaps one way to facilitate private groups is to integrate Yahoo! Answers with your Yahoo! 360 contact list.
In any event, Yahoo! Answers is now open!
Go ahead. Try it!
