Here’s five different and time-tested ways for you to socialize at Yahoo! Answers community:
[1] CREATE your user profile.
Of course you can respond to your questions without having a picture or avatar, linking to your Yahoo! 360 page, and so on.
Still, you want people to network with you and see that there’s more to you than just a display name. That indicates you must set up your profile thoroughly. And that involves creating and using your Yahoo! 360 profile and picture, which will differentiate yourself amongst the standard Yahoo! avatars that practically everyone else is using.
[2] CONNECT with your social network.
Yahoo! Answers enables you to develop a “friends” (contacts) community merely by browsing the other party’s user profiles and hitting “add to my contacts” button (Obviously, they’re able to block you if they consider you as an intruder.)
