Answer Boards & Social Searching

It was good to see the positive response the Librarians Answer Board received, really good feedback from the community. This has to raise the profile of libraries when adding in the answers where additional information can be found, at libraries and on their websites. Answer boards could be used as another search tool adding another resource skill.
Many patrons may feel comfortable using answer boards as they can remain anonymous if they wish.
I didn't post an answer on Yahoo Answers but I did search a subject I am familiar with and checked out the questions and answers instead. I was checking to verify whether the information posted was accurate and I found most of the information to be correct.
There are so many people "Slamming the Boards", it makes for some very interesting reading.Tag lines and signatures seem to promote USA libraries so it would be great to see more Australian promotion.
