Google loves YouSaidIt

YouSaidIt seems to have that je ne sais quoi (well, we’re not telling). And Google seems to be enamored. There are numerous examples, but the recent favorite was this question asked on Questionland: “Do you think the right person won American Idol?”.

Well, a search two days later returned these results. Although these results change constantly, it was impressive for a site that is merely weeks old to rank higher than Yahoo Answers! – one of the top ten most popular sites on the net and considered to be the absolute dominant player in Q&A, not to mention also a Google favorite. We were pleased, to say the least. Imagine how great it is for subject specific or location specific searches! Try something like where to buy the best meat in Seattle. It typically beats Yelp!

Question Land Launches at The Mercury

Questionland is a product of The Stranger based on YouSaidIt Collaborative Q&A. It was originally piloted and launched at The Stranger with great success.

The next media site to adopt it was the Portland Mercury. It launched last Wednesday and is already an active and interesting site – providing answers to questions from the cooler people in Portland (Oregon).
