Could yahoo answers be considered as an art form/medium?

Question

Would you say it takes skill to post and answer questions? What skills/talents do you need?

hopefully this makes sense.

yeah, i don't know. it entered my mind and i had to post it.

lol rob. i don't know. we both questioned out. watching some youtube videos now. but, it's more research. not inspiration material. i'll try.

Answer 1

Art is defined as a product of human creativity. Some answers and questions are the products of creativity, and those Q's & A's, though very few & far between, would be art.
I would say it does not take skill to post and answer questions, so as for the question "what skills/talents do you need?" the answer is "none" for talents, and the ability to read, write, and type English, as well as have a basic understanding of computers and the internet.

Answer 2

Thats a real good question! Deserves a star for sure.

I think consistency really matters. Getting to know your contacts is only possible if they go online!

also, it takes patience dealing with some of the trolls of y!a

Answer 3

Yes. You could be like the YA philosopher, ask a bunch of questions that every one has an answer to, but no one knows who's right.

Answer 4

Sure. I think it can be seen as an art form. Anything can be an art. I think it takes skill to ask great questions and answer intriguingly.

Answer 5

i think so. it provides an escape from the real word, an artistic medium is a good description.

and, to post, it takes confidence, spontaneity, random knowledge and flair.

so, yes. =)

Answer 6

I think it could be a medium for art but so far there doesn't seem to be many decent artists :P

Answer 7

Given the quality of answers I often see; probably not.

Answer 8

It takes skill to answer in an irreverent fashion .... and not be suspended.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

yeah
