Yahoo Answers is better:
Question Structure
WikiAnswers is designed more to answer universal and relatively simple one line questions.
Yahoo answers can answer more complicated and personalized questions.
Audience
Yahoo currently has a wider community who comes to both ask and answer questions. As Yahoo is a web portal, people who come to Yahoo for other things (eg. web search, e-mail or news) may also find themselves asking or answering questions. The personal nature of Yahoo attracts more people to Yahoo.
WikiAnswers has a smaller user base, and is not tied to a major portal.
Answers
On WikiAnswers, answers tend to be relatively better. Answers can evolve over time, as opposed to only having to be entered within a few days of the initial question. Yahoo Answers has much more false/unhelpful answers, and much more spam.
User Powers
On Yahoo Answers, every user is treated equally in terms of powers, but there are limits to how much one can do each day depending on the level they are at. One vote counts as one vote. On Wiki Answers, supervisor powers trump regular users.
Previewing Answers
On Yahoo Answers, you can preview your answer; on Wiki Answers, you can not.
Yes because it's a lot easier to find questions you want to answer and it's just a smoother layout. The only thing that stinks is that it knows your email account and if you're under thirteen it tells you you have to wait and to get around that you have to make a whole new account. :( More trouble than it's worth, but other than that, yes, Yahoo Answers is better than the website I'm typing on right now THat is right
== == I do agree, but on yahoo answers you can'tanswer this question!****************************************************************Most of the people who like Yahoo Answers, are the people who are asking and answering questions there. Of course I'll have to disagree with you, since this Web-site has helped me out much more than Yahoo Answers, which is why I continue too answer questions here.

What other sites - apart from WikiAnswers - can help you with the answers you need?
Yahoo! Answers is also a good site, other than WikiAnswers. But I recommend WikiAnswers over Yahoo! Answers. WikiAnswers is the best Q&A site and it has the best community. Yahoo! Answers isn't always correct, as well, and you cannot change the answers or spellings on there. On WikiAnswers, you can edit about everything to make the site better. Yahoo! Answers you can't, and it is a poor Q&A site.
Which is better this site or yahoo?
Yahoo is a web portal containing links to more topics, e-mail, web search, news, web pages, answers, etc.. WikiAnswers is only designed to handle answers, but is better designed, and less ad cluttered. It is subjective. WikiAnswers is probably better than Yahoo Answers; Yahoo as a whole is more useful.
Is yahooanswers better than WikiAnswers?
They are both good, but it depends upon what you are looking for. WikiAnswers is better if you want answers from a dictionary or encyclopedia or something. Yahoo!Answers is better if you want answers for something else random or about relationships or something. You can also edit your question more on Yahoo! Answers, and get points for answering questions. ^ if wikianswers were just about dictionaries etc, whats with the categories?

As of 2009, no, Yahoo Answers still has more traffic. However, WikiAnswers has been steadily gaining.
What is a better website than WikiAnswers?
NothingYou could try Yahoo! Answers where multiple answers to each question are permitted. It is not necessarily a bettermethod, but it might suit you better.
Is answers better than yahoo?
I think myself that Answers.com is better than Yahoo! Answers, but it is really not.
Is Yahoo better than Answers .com?
Yahoo! when taken all together, has many different things like a search engine, e-mail, news and other products. Answers.com only has a limited range of things it does, so you cannot compare them in that way. If you look just at Yahoo! Answers and WikiAnswers, then WikiAnswers is better.
