Answer 2

The major difference between Open Study and Yahoo Answers is right in the name.

Yahoo ANSWERS
Open STUDY

Answers are given in Yahoo Answers
Open Study strives to tutor and help people, rather than just give answers.

Great idea though!

I don't know if OpenStudy would want to partner in that kind of way with with a "competing" website like that.

Answer 13

I think that it is a pointless idea

Answer 14

who cares who gives the best answers?

Answer 15

But I do like your idea of a contest on Open Study. What if we had a trivia contest among OpenStudy users. We could divide into teams, and face off. Yes, it could distract from answering REAL questions. But what if we did it at a time like Christmas break. That way, it would increase website traffic in a time when EVERYONE has off and NOBODY has homework questions.

Answer 16

u just want sum 1 2 answer ur question @Xmoses1

Answer 17

It would be fun, but you have no reason as to why this would be a good idea for an educational site. We are to learn, and that is all. Not waste our time with stuff like that. Besides, that is just going to distract someone who really needs to be doing there work instead of that.

Answer 18

yeah...

Answer 19

your point?

Answer 20

Every team could have an equal amount of people from every SmartScore, and the mods could judge, and it could be a way to not just have fun, but to continue learning. We could ask a question, and then let everyone try solving it. Then, we could reveal the answer and the explanation. We could encourage reading, and advance math skills. We could help expand the vocabularies of Openstudy users. We could teach them more about History, and teach them life-lessons on cooperation and teamwork. Plus, we could get some team-spirit going, along with more website traffic, and it would draw more users to Open Study!

Answer 21

ok so no contest.

Answer 22

listen, its just an idea. What about like a daily poll, with a question. We can see how many open study users know the answer. Guys, this is just an idea. Something to spark interest in Open Study and in learning new topics. Okay?

Answer 23

Jenna! Don't give up on an idea just because one person doesn't like it!! :0

Answer 24

Now the question is closed! It's not likely to get any more people to read it :(

Answer 25

I'm gonna start my own thread on this topic.
