Interesting story...

...in Slate, titled “A Librarian's Worst Nightmare”, about Yahoo! Answers. The story is interesting because it doesn't wail that Yahoo! Answers users are idiots who don't know that they're getting unreliable information; instead, it looks at what value uers get out of a service like Yahoo! Answers.
