Hello there!
By now most of you would have seen my blog posts over the last few weeks, but for those who haven’t… hello!
My name is Kate and I’m the new Community Manager for Yahoo!7 Answers. I’ve got big shoes to fill after Caitlin’s wonderful management of the community for the past eighteen months, so please let me know if there’s something you think I should be doing or something you’d like to see on this blog.
I’ve been with Yahoo!7 since its inception in 2006, when Channel Seven and Yahoo! joined together in a joint venture. If you are a fan of either Yahoo!7 Mail or Messenger, you would be familiar with me from our Yahoo!7 Mail & Messenger Blog, both products of which I’ve been working on for the past two years.
Behind the scenes, our team also consists of Morgan (my boss!) and Tim, our Community Product Manager. The team also rounds out with Tasla, our Mail and Messenger Product Manager. You may hear from them occasionally here.
Outside work, I like to spend time with my family and friends. I love walking my dogs, reading, playing all kinds of sport and am most recently attempting to cycle to work… so if you have any tips, be sure to leave them here (trust me I need them!!). The nitty gritty of my sporting allegiances: the Wallabies, St George Illawarra Dragons, NSW Waratahs and Sydney Swans.
I look forward to working with and getting to know all of you over the coming months and going forward into 2010

Welcome to Yahoo Answers
We hope you will be a bit more lenient than your predecssor. The Answers Community is a good group though there are some Trolls who persist in ruining it for others.
We do like to joke around a bit sometimes and though it might seem we are “chatting”, we are not really. I submitted a poem and it was classed as chatting. I appealed and it was still turned down. It was only a poem.
Here is my poem –
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
Pick up, pick up, where could she be?
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
Why doesn’t she answer, just for me?
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
Waiting, waiting, tap, tap, tap.
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
Hurry up! I want to take a nap!
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
One more time and then I’ll go
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
Come on, come on! My battery’s low.
Brrr, Brrrr, Brrr, Brrrr
with best regards
Eddie Sawdust
god i need some new friends!!!!
couple of suggestions:
I would love to be able to search my own questions.
also I would like to see “my questions” at the top and front of my profile page,(not the second tab).
or be able to drag those elements around the page up or down.
on the public view of the profile it would nice to be able to have a hyperlink to my blog or URL
Why is my posted comment still showing my email details as a link in a Google search?
