"Points and Levels
To encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.) "

Yes as of now the points are just for bragging rights. Hopefully, Yahoo will let us do something with them.

Yup, you can brag about what a tremendously smart individual you are for answering all those questions to get all those points, the real point is, no one really cares.

They're for being a pompous blowhard and answering as many questions as humanly possible. And, of course, getting selected as the best answer, occasionally. (Two points for answering, ten for getting "best answer").
