No,it is not.
Your ID to your Yahoo! Messenger is the first part of your email. EXP: If WikiAnswers had an email account with Yahoo! Wiki's Messenger ID would look like this: wikianswers Because their email would probably be: wikianswers@yahoo.com But theirs is at answers.com
No, wikianswers is not inferior to yahoo answers.
yahoo
No it's not. As it reads at the bottom of every WikiAnswers page, "part of the Answers.com network." WikiAnswers is owned and operated by the makers of Answers.com, Answers Corporation.

I'd say that WikiAnswers is better. Here at WA you feel like you are part of the family. At Yahoo it has a strange atmosphere to it. They also allow you to obtain cool badges and of course is surrounded by orange men!
yahoo answers is much bigger.
As of 2009, no, Yahoo Answers still has more traffic. However, WikiAnswers has been steadily gaining.
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.
Yes. Yahoo! Answers launched on December 13, 2005. WikiAnswers was originally started as "FAQ Farm" in 2002. In 2004 it became a wiki, and was informally known as Wiki FAQs. In 2006 FAQ Farm became part of Answers.com. In January 2007, the site officially changed its name to WikiAnswers.
Quite simply, WikiAnswers does not want to follow Yahoo! Answers, or any other Q&A website.
WikiAnswers' popularity has risen over the past few years, and has surpassed Yahoo! Answers in the last quarter of 2009.
