When Google had not yet become the giant that it is today, searching for information on certain topics on the internet did not offer us a quick answer. As a result of this need, a large number of websites were born such as Yahoo Answers, a platform that has announced the definitive closure after 15 years of activity.
Yahoo Answers became, practically from its birth, a kind of forum where any user could express their doubts (as strange and absurd as they may seem) for anyone to respond. However, this platform became, due to its nature, a source of jokes and memes, where the absurd questions raised many doubts about its real usefulness.
Despite the fact that Google has become a powerful tool for solving questions of any kind (sometimes without having to visit any web page), on the internet we can find a large number of alternatives to Yahoo Answers.
Unlike Yahoo Answers, where they had room for all the themes Without any type of specialization, the alternatives that we show you below have focused the activity of solving doubts on specific topics.
All experts
All experts is one of the best alternatives in Spanish to Yahoo Answers. All of us have or consider ourselves experts in some topics, this website being the best way to share them and offer answers to questions from other users.
This website was born before Yahoo Answers, in the year 2000 and since then it has more than 3 million questions and answers, a platform that has more than one million active users. If you are looking to share your knowledge, answer questions or expand your knowledge in different subjects, Todoexpertos is the best option available in Spanish.
In addition, you do not need to register to consult the available content, but to ask questions. It has a punctuation system to assess user responses, so that we can quickly get an idea about the quality / veracity of the responses.
Quora
In 2009 he was born Quora, a question and answer social network founded by the former CTO of Facebook, to share and increase knowledge in the world. It wasn't until 2016 that it was released a spanish version And, although 5 years have passed, the content available in our language is much lower than what we can find in other options such as Todoexpertos.
One of the negative points of this platform is that we must register to access it, either with an email account, using our Facebook account or one of Google.
Although Twitter does not focus its activity on providing answers to new doubts, it is an interesting alternative to find solutions to problems to which we have not found a solution through Google. Either through our followers or by mentioning someone we know who knows about the subject, we can lead to finding an answer to our doubts.
Reddit in Spanish
Although Reddit sIt is only available in English, makes available to Spanish speakers a section where we can ask any questions we have in the language of Cervantes. I'm talking about AskReddit English.
Here we will find questions of all kinds, as in Yahoo Answers, without order or concert, so unless we do a search by terms, it can be quite difficult to consult the content that is already published.
It is not necessary to register to consult the available content, but to be able to post questions. By registering on Reddit, we not only have access to the question section in Spanish, but we also have access to the entire platform.
If we know English, we can use this platform to find solutions to our questions, although as usual, the language used is very colloquial, so it is sometimes difficult to understand the answer, even if our level of English is medium.
Trabber
Traber answers is the best website for solve your travel-related questions. If you have doubts about what to do with children in Madrid, if you have to pay taxes when buying items abroad, which are the best beaches, which metro stop passes by the Eiffel Tower, best cheap hotels in New York ...
No need to create an account to be able to consult the available content but to ask new questions and interact with the published answers.
ASKfm
ASKfm was born with the premise that questions and answers are basic components of a conversation, expression and understanding. ASKfm is a social network where you can post your questions looking for an answer and creating a community of users where you can not only learn, but it is also an excellent platform to share your knowledge.
Although it allows us ask questions anonymously, so that we met them that we have on the platform they do not know our concerns, it is necessary to register on the platform. ASKfm is available in Spanish and has applications for iOS and Android.
blurtit
blrutit was born as an exciting community of questions and answers to revolutionize the way of answering questions through the internet. Whether you need to know the answer to a current question or if you want share your knowledge with other people, Blurtit is here to help you.
This platform, which It's only available in English, classifies all content into categories such as Technology, Health, Science, Education, Pets… Unlike other similar platforms, we can ask questions anonymously, although they will not receive the same attention as those published by registered users.
Stack Overflow
If you're programmer, the ideal question and answer website is Stack Overflow. This website, which is only available in English, was born with the thought of helping developers and providing them with the necessary tools to resolve any type of doubts.
Like other platforms, the most active users have a reputation in the form of stars, which allows us to quickly know if the solution you have proposed to our question may be the one we are looking for.
