I like the new look and functionality. I’ve been using answers for a quite while. I like the new look and functionality.

Save some time and an extra Click. Think that the AJAX interface should somehow be posted Before, the question answered. Save some time and an extra Click.

There is enough space to show a dynamic popup on the left to show matching questions instead of forcing users to click "Post Question" first. My 2 cents! :-) I think the AJAX interface should work right in the first screen itself.

Meh. Answers is not exclusive enough. Not only should you have a Yahoo account, you should pass a basic intelligence test before being allowed to participate. Have you seen the stupid questions people post there? The signal-to-noise ratio is unbelievable. “I also have to wonder at the wisdom of keeping Answers exclusive in this way.”

But when I go to the site, it seems I have to sign in before I do anything. My Yahoo email address expired recently, and while the ID still works, Answers won't work without a verified email address. I'm sorry, but that's more hoops than I want to jump through just now, just to try out a new service. I also have to wonder at the wisdom of keeping Answers exclusive in this way. On the other hand, Answers is in Beta, still, so this might be a way of keeping it from growing too quickly. Not unlike how Gmail grew. All the same, I'd like to see that widget. Sounds nifty.
