34 things: Online Answer Sites

All i can say is i am glad i am not a reference librarian, i am all about reading. There is so much to think about here. How are we going to deliver information to students.....
i am going to look into several question and answer sites. the first is ChaCha. while on vacation the younger generation talked about this site. Never heard of it. i sent a text to chacha and received two immediate text messages, one welcome, how to start and stop and another promoting a ringtone from a question i asked. the answer came within 4 minutes and another for other promotions.

some of the other sites are asking questions about daily life issues, can i transfer a vcr to dvd???

we still need to teach kids to ask inquiry questions and keywords to get the best answers.
