Just like Yahoo in that respect. Annoying ads. Greed drives customers away, so
it's a short-term investment. Apparently, Yahoo also censors anything that
does not please their friends at Microsoft. They took control of Answers and
they delete suggestions that mention BSD/Open Source/Linux. It's ironic and
hypocritical because they actually use these technologies heavily in their
underlying infrastructure.
