Talking to the people has taken on a completely new meaning as US Senators, Presidents and even celebrities are asking the questions on Yahoo! Answers.
Last year, Yahoo! Answers’ “Ask the Planet” campaign had Donald Trump, Al Gore and Bono asking the big questions in exchange for a selection of exceptional prizes. Oprah asked what we would do if given $1000 to change the life of a perfect stranger and Indian President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is currently asking our opinion on terrorism. The questions are thought provoking and designed to elicit thousands of responses - the results are fascinating!
Hillary Clinton has received over 38,000 replies to her question “Based on your own family’s experience, what do you think we should do to improve health care in America?” Deciding to let the Yahoo! community vote for the best answer Hillary stated:
“Thank you so much, everyone, for your detailed, thoughtful responses, and for joining in this national conversation with me…I was moved by so many of your poignant stories, and impressed by the power and creativity of your ideas…
And as President, I will work to provide quality, affordable health coverage to every American.”
The comments she received in return were a mix of thanks, sarcasm, disbelief and anger
Cynical it may be, I agree with those expressing disbelief and sarcasm (and in doing so I end up asking even more questions!). What are celebrities and politicians doing with the answers they receive? Are these famous faces actually interested in the outcome, or just the PR that comes from asking the people? Is this really social consciousness on a whole new level or an ingenious game of PR? In which case - should we play along?
