If you subscribe to the Y alerts - http://alerts.yahoo.com/ -they'll send it to you via e-mail or right on Yahoo IM. Go there, click on feed/blog BETA and copy this url into the blank http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/index.html
Now, I haven't won anything yet, and I've seen no announcement of any winners by Yahoo. It would seem wise for them to make an announcement if there has been a winner............. so hmmmmmmmmmm what's up with that?

Nothing, except ask other people questions! I suppose it might boost some people's egos to have lots of points, personally I just like to help & give advice!

It's not about the points.
It's a way of interacting with people, solving problems and having a laugh.
