With the news that Google Answers is closing, the Yahoo! Answers Team had this to say on their blog:

Some of you may have already heard, but it was announced yesterday that after 4+ years Google Answers has decided to close its doors to new open questions. While some may choose to celebrate this news, I feel a little differently. We still have a lot of work ahead of us as a product, and continued feedback from the community is helping us make Answers a better place to ask and answer questions.

So what does the Google Answers news mean for Yahoo! Answers? Well for one thing there is now a group of expert askers and answerers looking for a new place to call home, and what better place to turn to than Yahoo! Answers? 

We’d like to extend a warm welcome, so we’ve set up a Yahoo! Group for all of you ex-Google Answerers. Come in, make yourselves at home, and most importantly share your experiences with the rest of us? What worked? What didn’t? We know we have plenty of areas to improve upon in our own community, but what else can we do to make this place the best that it could possibly be?
