Which celebrities do you want to see on Answers?

Question: What do Baby Spice, John Howard and Cate Blanchett all have in common?

Answer: They have all taken part in Answers over the last couple of years.

And, they have not been the only ones: there’s a long list of celebrities that have chosen to pose their question to the Answers community and eagerly review your responses.

However, many of you have expressed feelings of concern towards the authenticity of these public figures on Answers. Well, we think you deserve an answer to your questions on this regard: of course they are who they say they are (you’ll recognise them because you’ll see a green badge with the label “official” under their avatar).

It’s that simple. You know us, and we are always talking about our community guidelines, our terms of service, and privacy policy. Well, that applies to us in first instance, and we would never allow someone impersonating a public figure –or a non-public figure, of course.

Now, let us explain the workflow to you: the celebrity asks the question (many even get recorded on video), the community answers the question and the celebrity chooses the Best Answer.

That’s exactly what happened in the case of our latest celebrity: Seann William Scott (see the video here).

And that’s it: there’s no trick or behind-the-scenes movements, and of course they are who they say they are! And… they are amazed at the passion the Answers Community puts in their Answers. Be proud!!

Now it’s your turn to Answer: would you like to see someone asking a question to the community? We don’t promise anything, but we’d love to hear your suggestions and do our best to make your dreams come true!!

  1. Ok but whats the big deal anyway? why cant they just create an account and remain unknown like the rest of us? whats with all the “official” on the avatar stuff? do you think they will get a better answer becaus of it?

  2. I think in this way celebrities can influence more users to be in the Yahoo answer community. Well, a propaganda for the good of the site. You know..

  6. I prefer that they remain anonymous. I personally would be awestruck in their presence and that make it hard to stay objective, not to mention there are people who would use them to promote their self-interest.

  7. Will Smith

    I mean, it wouldn’t be a ‘dream come true’ because i am not that obsessed. It would just be pretty darn awesome, given that he’s a great actor, and he seems to be a great person.
