Hello,

I believe there should be a way to give some sort of grading assurance to members that spend time writing answers, because some topics are simply abandoned without any answers being marked as “good” or “best”. If there aren’t any answers that satisfy the question’s author, he should request more input instead of simply abandoning the topic. In fact, Experts-Exchange.com have a devised a good method to solve this problem.
Otherwise, members may be reluctant to use their time on Q&A.

Thanks, keep up the good work!
João

Mike,

This is a great feature, but I wish I could query my network regionally as well. Example: If I’m looking for a system administrator in Indianapolis, I don’t want to post to my entire network.

Thanks!
Doug

Hey! I’ve got a new way to use LinkedIn Answers! It’s still crude but someday if LinkedIn Answers has an API we can make this work automagically.

Check out:

It’s a link to my blog and how I used the Yahoo! Term Extraction API to pick out keywords in the Answers that were generated by my question about nonprofits… It’s a great way to extract textual patterns quickly from the unstructured text that you get in LinkedIn Answers.
